Example: Setting a Prefix
In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.
1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned barcode data. In
this
example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.
2. Go to page 78 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode.
3. Scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX barcode.
4. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex value
assigned to the desired character. The correspond
ing hex number for the ‘$’ character is
24. T
o enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ barcodes from Appendix D, Keypad.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the begin-
ning.
5. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT bar-
code to terminate the string.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again to exit Programming Mode.
7. The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned barcode data:
12345
Resulting message string output:
$12345
