Label ID
A Label ID is used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. See Appendix D,
Factory Default Settings, for a listing for common symbologies. It can be
appended previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending
upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring
custom Label IDs individually per symbology. If you wish to program the scan-
ner to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology
types, see the feature, AIM ID on page 2-79.
The Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each of
which are 00-FF) followed by a control character (00-01), This control charac-
ter, when set to zero, does nothing. When set to one, it appends the symbol-
ogy’s AIM ID to the Label ID.
To configure a Label ID:
1. Scan the START bar code.
2. Select Label ID position
as either BEFORE or AFTER by scanning the appro-
priate bar code.
3. Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a
cu
stom Label ID.
4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will
re
present the Label ID for the selected symbology. Next, turn to the ASCII
Character Set on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equiva-
lent hex digits associated with your choice of Label ID. For example, if you
wi
sh to select an equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart indicates its asso-
ciated hex characters as 3D.
5. Turn to Appendix C, and scan the bar codes repr
esenting the hex charac-
ters determined in the previous step. For
example, to make an equal sign
(=), scan ‘3’ and ‘D’ followed by ‘0’ six times. Since this is a three-charac-
ter buffer, ‘00’ is scanned for characte
r two, ‘00’ for character three and
‘00’ for the control character. (‘00’ indicates no character.)
6. Scan the END bar code to exi
t programming mode.

NOTE
When the control character is set to 01 for UPC-A and UPC-E, it
expands the label to EAN-13 and thus follows the EAN-13 Label ID
settings.
