Symbologies

Pharmacode 39 — 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 Pharmacode 39 bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.

Example: Setting the Pharmacode 39 Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

1.Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent the Pharmacode 39 symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Con- version Chart to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen character(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “A” to repre- sent Pharmacode 39. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’A’ is 41. This value will be used in a step to follow.

2.Scan the START bar code

3.Scan the SET PHARMACODE 39 CODE I.D. bar code.

4.Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’ and ‘1’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘A’).

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 Pharmacode 39 labels would appear as follows:

Scanned bar code data: 0123456789123

Resulting message string output: A0123456789123
