Character Conversion
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 charac- ter 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, AG15TA81, it would look as follows after the character conversion:
BG25TB82.
The A characters were converted to the B character and the 1 characters were converted to the numeral 2 character. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1.Scan the START/END barcode.
2.Scan the Character Conversion barcode.
3.Determine the desired string. Up to sixteen positions can be determined as in the above example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
4.Turn to Appendix C,
5.Scan the START/END barcode to exit Programming Mode.
If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected, scan the START/END barcode twice to accept the selections and exit Programming Mode.
