Datalogic Scanning QS6500BT manual Example Setting the Code 128 Code I.D

Symbologies

Code 128 — 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 Code 128 bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.

Example: Setting the Code 128 Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

1.Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent the Code 128 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 “#” (the pound sign) to represent Code 128. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’#’ is 23. This value will be used in a step to follow.

2.Scan the START bar code

3.Scan the SET CODE 128 CODE I.D. bar code.

4.Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘2’ and ‘3’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘#’).

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 Code 128 labels would appear as follows:

Scanned bar code data: 0123456789123

Resulting message string output: #0123456789123
