56 8680i User Guide
To Add an Output Sequence
An output sequence is created using a string of serial commands that is sent to the
8680i. This string is most easily sent to the 8680i using the EZConfig software tool
(see EZConfig-Scanning Introduction on page 177). You can also accomplish this
by scanning alphanumeric bar codes (see the Programming Chart, beginning on
page 235).
1. If you are using bar codes to create your output sequence, scan the Enter
Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence,page 61).
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Charts on page 221, find the symbology to which you want
to apply the output sequence format. Locate the hex value for that symbology
and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart, beginning on page
235.
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output is acceptable for
this symbology. Make a note of the length. If you are using bar codes to create
your output sequence, scan the four digit data length from the Programming
Chart, beginning on page 235. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is
a universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you
must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part
of the length (unless using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page 224, find the hex value
that represents the character(s) you want to match. Make a note of the hex
value for the character(s). If you are using bar codes to create your output
sequence, use the Programming Chart (page 235) to read the alphanumeric
combination that represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number,
indicating all characters.)
5. End Output Sequence Editor
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or Save to
save your entries.
Other Programming Selections
If you are creating an output sequence using bar codes, scan Discard (page 236)
to exit without saving any output sequence changes.
