Code 93 — 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 93 bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.
Example: Setting the Code 93 Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the Code 93 symbology. Reference AppendixA, 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 “&” to represent
Code 93. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’&’ is 26.
This value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET CODE 93 CODE I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to AppendixB, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘2’
and ‘6’ (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.
7. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
8. The resulting message string for scanned Code 93 labels would
appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data: 0123456789123
Resulting message string output: &0123456789123
NOTE
Features configured using the Data Editing chapter are
universal and will affect all symbologies.
