Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. The following illustra- tion shows the breakdown of a message string:

Prefix	Scanned Data	Suffix
1-11	variable length	1-11
alpha numeric		alpha numeric
characters		characters
