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 (‘$’) as a pre-
fix.
2. Scan the START bar code.
3. Scan the SET PREFIX CHARACTER(S) bar code.
4. Reference AppendixA, ASCII Conversion Chart, to find the hex value
assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number
for the ‘$’ character is 24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’
and ‘4’ bar codes from AppendixB, Alpha-Numeric Pad.
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
