Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs
represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character 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 conversion configuration item set to the following:
4142
3132FFFFFFFF
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 conversion: BB22B
B22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were converted to 2
charact
ers. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Go to page 55 and scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
2. Scan the “Configure Character Conversion” barcode.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as in the above exam-
ple. 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 barcodes representing the hex characters deter-
mined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to exit Programming Mode.
If less than the expected string of 16 characters is selected, scan the
ENTER/EXIT barcode twice to accept the selections and exit Pro-
gramming Mode.
Scanner Data Formatting Control
No Read String
This feature allows the transmission of a programmable character or string when no code has
been decoded (No read) during a reading phase (On Line Mode only).
To set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character st
ring (maximum 20).
2. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex value
assigned to t
he desired character.
3. Go to No Read String on page 51 and scan ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
to enter Programming Mode
