Datalogic Scanning QS6500BT manual Example Setting the EAN-8 Code I.D

Symbologies

EAN-8 — continued

Code I.D. Selection

The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans- mitted EAN-8 bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.

Example: Setting the EAN-8 Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

1.Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent the EAN-8 symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion Chart to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac- ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “FF” to represent EAN-8. The hex value from the table corresponding to ‘F’ is 46. This value will be used in a step to follow.

2.Scan the START bar code

3.Scan the SET EAN-8 CODE I.D. bar code.

4.Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’ and ‘6’ (the value determined in an earlier step). Scan the bar codes ‘4’ and ‘6’ a second time to represent the second ‘F’ needed to identify the Code I.D.

5.Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6.Turn to the Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI- TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.

Features configured using the Data Editing chapter are universal and will affect all symbologies.

NOTE

7.Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

8.The resulting message string for scanned EAN-8 labels would appear as follows:

Scanned bar code data: 02345673

Resulting message string output: FF02345673
