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 capital 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 conversion:
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 character pairs, since they are all
FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Scan the Enter/Exit Programming Mode barcode at the top of the page.
2. Scan the Character Conversion barcode.
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.
4. Turn to the
Alpha-Numeric Keypad on page 324 and scan the barcodes representing
the hex characters determined in the previous step. When the last character is
scanned, the scanner will sound a triple beep.
5. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the Enter/Exit Programming Mode
barcode.
NOTE
The positions not used must be filled with the character ‘F’.
