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:
41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII cap-
ital 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, AG15TA81, it would look as follows after the character conver-
sion: BG25TB82.
The A characters were converted to the B
character and the 1 characters were
converted to the numeral 2 character. Nothing is done with the last two charac-
ter pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Scan the Enter/Exit Programming
Mode bar code.
2. Scan the Character Conversion bar code.
3. Determine the desired string. Up to sixteen positions can 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.
NOTE
The positions not used must be filled with the character ‘F’.
4. Turn to the Alpha-Numeric Keypad on page 295 and scan the bar codes
representing the hex characters determined in the previous step. When the
l
ast character is scanned, the scanner will sound a triple beep.
5. Complete the programming sequence by
scanning the Enter/Exit Pro-
gramming Mode bar code.
