Label ID

Label ID

A Label ID is used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. See Appendix D, Factory Default Set- tings, for a listing for common symbologies. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs individually per symbology. If you wish to program the scanner to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see the previous feature, AIM ID.

The Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each of which are 00-FF) followed by a control character (00-01), This control character, when set to zero, does nothing. When set to one, it appends the symbology’s AIM ID to the Label ID.

When the control character is set to 01 for UPC-A and UPC-E, it expands the label to EAN-13 and thus follows the EAN-13 Label ID settings.

NOTE

To configure a Label ID:

1.Scan the START bar code.

2.Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scanning the appropriate bar code.

3.Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a custom Label ID.

4.Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will represent the Label ID for the selected symbology. Next, 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 example, if you wish to select an equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart indi- cates its associated hex characters as 3D.

5.Turn to Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes representing the hex charac- ters determined in the previous step. For example, to make an equal sign (=), scan ‘3’ and ‘D’ followed by ‘0’ six times. Since this is a three-character buffer, ‘00’ is scanned for char- acter two, ‘00’ for character three and ‘00’ for the control character. (‘00’ indicates no character.)

6.Scan the END bar code to exit programming mode.
