Data Editing
Product Reference Guide

Please Keep In Mind...
• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is a sophisti-
cated feature allowing highly customizable output for adv
anced users. Factory default set-
tings for data editing is typically set to NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied only to a
specified symbology (reference "1D Code
Selection" starting on page 109) or across all symbologies (set via the Global features in
this chapter).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on the inside back cover of
this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which
you want them to appear on the output.
Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the bar code data) and/
or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code data) as indicated in Figure 16.
Figure 16. 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) ar
e to be added to scanned bar code data. In this
example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.
2. Go to page 76 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code, then
scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX bar code.
3. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex value
assigned to the desired character. The correspond
ing hex number for the ‘$’ character is
24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from Appendix D, Keypad.
4. If less than the expected string of 20 characters
are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT bar
code to terminate the string.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code once again to exit Programming Mode.
6. The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data: 12
345
Resulting message string output: $1
2345
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar code
to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the
beginning.
