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

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
