
By default, the RF Terminal has no Postambles configured. Postambles can contain up to 15 characters. To set a Postamble:

Select option “ 8”
from the RF Terminal
Setup menu then “ 2”
for Postamble from the Other Settings menu.

Enter the desired characters (up to 15). Pressing the shift key will turn the cursor red to indicate that the shift is active. Press-
ing shift again will turn the cursor white and return to unshifted mode..

Press “ENTER”.when you are finished entering data.

To clear the Postamble and return to the default (no Postamble defined), press “
CLEAR”
.
You can use the Postamble to trim characters from the data you are entering into the RF Terminal. You can trim from 1-15
characters from the data by creating a Postamble of:
~ x
where ~ is ASCII 126 and x is a single hex digit 1-F (corresponding to 1-15). Data that is shorter than the trim amount is transmit-
ted without trimming. Postambles trim characters from the end of the data. Here are some examples:
Data Postamble Data Transmitted
123 XYZ 123XYZ
12345678 ~3XYZ 12345XYZ
12345678 ~9 12345678
12345678901 ~A 1
123456 ~5 1

Using the Bar Code ID feature and the Postamble , you can trim data selectively, trimming characters only on the bar code
type specified. To use selective trimming, enter:
~ bx

where b is the Bar Code ID character (see the Code 128 setup parameter ) and x is the number of characters to trim from the
end of the data. For example, ~b2~c1 says “trim 2 characters from Code 39 data and 1 character from UPC-A data”. Remem-
ber that the Postamble trims trailing data.

Lastly, the Postamble can be used to check a maximum character length for data entered. To check for length in the Post-
amble , enter:
| nnmm
where | is ASCII 124, nn is the two-digit minimum and mm is the two-digit maximum. |0210 would check for a minimum of
2 characters and a maximum of 10 If you try to scan a bar code outside the minimum or maximum lengths, no decode will re-
sult. Entering data by keypad is not affected.
Characters
This setting allows the RF Terminal to output chosen ASCII characters in place of the actual characters entered. For example, if
you scanned the number
1 ( hex 31 ) and wanted the RF Terminal to output hex 92 instead, you would enter 3192 for the Charac-
ters parameter. This would re-assign the output characters, with the RF Terminal outputting hex 92 every time it sees hex 31 . To
re-assign characters:

Select option “
8
” from the
RF Terminal Setup
menu then “
3
” to enable character entry. A square cursor will appear.

Enter up to seven 4-digit pairings where the first 2 digits represent the hex number to replace and the second 2 digits represent the hex
number to insert . You can have up to seven character reassignments.

Press
“Enter ” when done or “
Clear
” to reset to none.
You can eliminate the output of a character by using FF as the hex number to insert. For example, if you wanted to eliminate all $ ,
following the above instructions, enter 24FF .
