Global Prefix/Suffix

Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the bar code data) and/ or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code data) as indicated in Figure 5-2.

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 bar code data. In this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.

2.Scan the START bar code.

3.Scan the SET PREFIX bar code.

4.Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual, to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is 24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from Appendix C, Alpha-

Numeric Pad.

5.Scan the END bar code once to finish the string, then scan END again to exit Program- ming Mode.

If all 20 characters will be used in the prefix or suffix, do not scan the END bar code to finish the string. It is done automatically.

NOTE

6.The resulting message string would appear as follows:

Scanned bar code data:12345

Resulting message string output: $12345
