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 indicated in Figure 8.

Example: Setting a Prefix
In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.
1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned bar
c
ode data. In this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.
2. Go to page 54 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar
code, then scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX bar
code.
3. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to
find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corresponding
hex num
ber for the ‘$’ character is 24. To enter this selection code,
scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from Appendix D, Keypad.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL
bar code to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start
again at the beginning.
4. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the
ENTER/EXIT bar code to terminate the string.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code once again to exit Programming Mode.
6. The resulting message string would ap
pear as follows:
Scanned bar code data: 12345
Resulting message string output: $12345
