Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 
4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first charac-
ter in the pair is the characte
r that will be converted. The second character in 
the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is 
FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character c
onversion configuration item set to 
the following: 41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII 
capital B) and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an 
ASCII 2). The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as 
follows after the character con-
version: BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were 
converted to 2 characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, 
since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Go to page 99 and scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.
2. Scan the “Configure Character Conversion” bar code.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as 
in the above example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back 
cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill 
the
 string.
4. Turn to Appendix D, Keypad and scan the bar codes representing the 
hex characters determined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code to exit Programming Mode.
If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected, scan the 
ENTER/EXIT bar code twice to accept the selections and exit Program-
ming Mode.
