Global Prefix/Suffix

Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the

barcode data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the barcode data) as

indicated.

Figure 2. Prefix and Suffix Positions

Example: Setting a Prefix

In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.

1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to b

e added to scanned barcode

data. In this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.

2. Go to

page 68

and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode,

then scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX barcode.

3. Reference the

ASCII Chart on page 303

on the inside back cover of this man-

ual to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corre-

sponding hex number for the ‘$’ characte

r is 24. To enter this selection

code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ barcodes from

Appendix D, Keypad

NOTE

If you make a mistake before the last cha

racter, scan the CANCEL bar-

code to abort and not save the entry

string. You can then start again

at the beginning.

4. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the

ENTER/EXIT barcode to terminate the string.

5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again to exit Programming Mode.

6. The resulting message string would appear as follows:

Scanned barcode data: 12345

Resulting message string output: $12345
