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 indi-
cated in Figure 3.

Example: Setting a Prefix
In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.
1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to b
e added to scanned bar code
data. In this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.
2. Scan the START bar code.
3. Scan the SET PREFIX bar code.
4. Reference the ASCII Character Set on page 159 on the inside back cover of
this manual, to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The
corres
ponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is 24. To enter this selec-
tion code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’
bar codes from Appendix C, Alphanumeric
Pad.
5. Scan the END bar code once to finish the string, then scan END again to
ex
it Programming Mode.
NOTE
If all 20 characters will be used in the prefix or suffix,
do not scan
the END bar code to finish the string. It is
done automatically.
6. The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data:12345
Resulting message string output: $12345
