152 Xenon/Granit User Guide
• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), the 
specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.
• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which 
includes header information.
Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 153).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Charts (beginning 
on page A-327) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix 
or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 
341, or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add the AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add the serial number, scan 5, C, 8, 8.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: When adding a backslash (\), you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading 
backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 5. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat the steps above to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.
Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 341 to apply 
this suffix to all symbologies.
Step 3. Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 341. This 
corresponds with the hex value for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII 
Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 330.
Step 4. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. 
If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use 
Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology. When 
you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are 
deleted.
