Data Editing
Please Keep In Mind...
•Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Fac- tory default settings for data editing is typically set to NONE.
•A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the Symbologies chapter for these set- tings) across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).
•You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from
•Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the barcode data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the barcode data) as indicated in Figure 4.

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 barcode data. In this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.
2.Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
3.Scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX barcode.
4.Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual, to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is 24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ barcodes from
Appendix E, Keypad.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
