5.3.1 Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (header) in a position before the
barcode data, and/or as a suffix (terminator) in a position following the barcode data as
indicated in the figure below.
Figure 7 - Prefix and Suffix Positions
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 barcode data (max 20).
In this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.
2. Use the Chart in Appendix C to find the hex equivalent(s)
for the desired character(s).
3. Go to page 52 and scan the ENT
ER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter
Programming Mode.
4. Scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX barcode.
5. Scan the hex equivalent characters
from the keypad in Appendix B that represent the
desired character string in step 1 above. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’
character is 24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ barcodes from Appendix
B.
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode
to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the
beginning.
6. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT
barcode to terminate the string.
7. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again to exit Programming Mode.
The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned barcode data:12345
Resulting message string output: $12345
and/or
