6-68 Magellan® 9500
Global Prefix
This feature applies to RS-232 interfaces (Standard, Wincor-Nixdorf, and
Single Cable). It specifies the prefix that is added to beginning of label
transmission.
To specify the Global Prefix Character(s):
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan the bar code, SET GLOBAL PREFIX below. You’ll need to
cover any unused bar codes to ensure the scanner reads only the bar
code you intend to scan.
3. Scan the appropriate characters/digits from the keypad in Appendix
C that represent the hex designation for the desired character(s). A
table containing the ASCII Character Set and their corresponding
Hex Values is available in the inside back cover of this manual.
ASCII parameters must be input by scanning a pair of hexadecimal
digits for each character. Thus, to set a two-character value of AB,
bar codes containing the digits ‘4’, ‘1’, ‘4’, and ‘2’ must be scanned.
The selectable range for this option is any hex value from 00 to FF.
Up to 20 hex pairs can be designated.
4. If designating the full 20 hex pairs, the scanner will automatically
exit Programming Mode when the appropriate amount of digits
have been scanned. If designating less than 20 hex pairs, you can
end the programming sequence early by scanning the TERMINATE
SEQUENCE bar code.
5. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
bar code.
NOTE
To specify “no Global Prefix,” scan 00.
