1. Data Field Identification
By specifying particular characters in the Upload Prefix, you can help the host computer program identify or
distinguish one field of data from another. For example, if your software identifies part numbers by seeing
the letter P before each part number, specify P in the Upload Prefix. Think of it as a way to add Data
Identifiers when they aren’t already part of your bar code.
2. Timing Delays for this field only
Timing delays of .10 seconds to 9.9 seconds can be programmed into the Upload Prefix (and Suffix). This
feature is not suitable for use with the 7802 WiFi Terminal.
3. Appending data to another field
A very common use of the Upload Prefix (or Suffix) is to append data to a field every time that field is
uploaded. Use the characters:
}xx
where xx is the number of the statement you want to attach. To save space (you are allowed only 15
characters in a prefix or suffix), a single digit can be used when the statement number is a single digit - }2 is
the same as }02 - as long as it is not followed by another valid digit.
As an example, let’s say you wanted to attach an aisle number as a prefix to every item number you entered.
Assuming the aisle number is statement #02, entering }02 in the Upload Prefix of the item number
statement would attach the aisle number to every item number. Only the data in statement #02 would be
attached; any Upload Prefix or Upload Suffix characters for statement #02 will not be uploaded.
The field that is appended (#02 in our example) is typically not uploaded by itself - it is only uploaded in
conjunction with another field. To suppress the transmission of a field entirely upon uploading, use:
~0
in the Upload Prefix or Upload Suffix (either will work) for that field.
The example above would upload the data in statement #01 attached in front of the data for statement #03
every time it is uploaded.
4. Trimming data from a field
The Upload Prefix can be used to trim 1-15 leading characters from the specified statements data. Trimming
can happen in 3 ways:
~x
where x is a single hex digit corresponding to the number of characters you want to remove from the data.
Valid entries are 1 - F (corresponding to 1-15). Trimming characters using the ~ waits to trim the data until it
