Set Global Mid Label ID Character(s)
Specifies a mid-label ID that is added for transmission between the labels of a two label pair. 
The expected string is a maximum of 20 characters. When combining two label pairs into a 
single label for transmission to the host, this label ID can be added to the data, following the 
first label and preceding the second label. 
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.
2. Scan the bar code in 
"Set Global Mid Label ID Character(s)" on page 64
3. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to twenty) which will represent 
the Mid Label ID for two label pairs. If the first character is 00, then nothing is added 
between the two labels.
4. Turn to the 
ASCII Chart
 on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex 
digits associated with your choice of Label ID. For ex
ample, if you wish to select the char-
acters ‘M’, ‘I’ and ‘D’ as a Label ID, the chart i
ndicates its associated hex characters as 
4D4944. Turn to 
Keypad, starting on page 305
 and scan the bar codes representing the hex 
characters determined. For the example given, the characters ‘4’, ‘D’, ‘4’, ‘9’, ‘4’ and ‘4’ 
woul
d be scanned. More examples of Label ID settings are provided in 
Table 15
.
NOTE
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.
5. The reader will save the string and exit Programming Mode when:
• the ENTER/EXIT bar code is scanned a second time, or
• the hex values for all twenty available characters have 
been entered, or
• the first 00 hex value entered terminates the string.
This completes the steps to configure a Global Mid
 Label ID for two label pairs.
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, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character
conversion: BB22BB22.
