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 char-
acter pairs, since they are all
FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Scan the START/END bar code.
2. Scan the Character Conversion bar code.
3. Determine the desired string. Up to sixteen positions can be determined
a
s in the above example. Next, turn to the ASCII Character Set on page 159
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 Appendix C, Alphanumeric Pad and scan the bar codes represent-
ing the hex characters determined in the previous step. When the last
c
haracter is scanned, the scanner will sound a triple beep.
5. Scan the START/END bar code
to exit Programming Mode.
DEFAULT SETTING FOR THIS FEATURE:
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF hex (no conversion)
