Prefix/Suffix — continued
Example: Setting a Prefix
In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.
1.Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned bar code data. In this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a pre- fix.
2.Scan the START bar code.
3.Scan the SET PREFIX CHARACTER(S) bar code.
4.Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion Chart, to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is 24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from Appendix B,
5.Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6.Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
7.The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data: | 12345 |
Resulting message string output: $12345
