Symbologies
6-204 QuickScan® QS6500/QS6500 BT
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 4/5 bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.
Example: Setting the Code 4/5 Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the Code 4/5 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 “N” to represent
Code 4/5. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’N’ is 4E, .
This value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET Code 4/5 I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to AppendixB, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’
and ‘E’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘N’),
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 4/5 labels would
appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data:0123456789123
Resulting message string output:N0123456789123
NOTE
Features configured using the Data Editing chapter are
universal and will affect all symbologies.
