Hand Held Products 5700 manual Primary Interface Prefix and Suffix

Primary Interface Prefix and Suffix

The scanner transmits a decoded message after every successful bar code read. Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters you may assign to be sent before and after the transmitted bar code data.

Transmitted data frame –>

Prefix

Bar Code Message

Suffix

Characters for the Prefix and Suffix are selected by their hexadecimal ASCII value, up to 12 characters each. Prefix and Suffix characters may be sent for a specific symbology, or may be sent with all bar code scans.

Default Prefix = none. Default Suffix = none.

Programming Steps to Add a Primary Interface Prefix / Suffix:

➊To add a Prefix, scan the Add Primary Prefix programming bar code. To add a Suffix, scan the Add Primary Suffix programming bar code.

➋Refer to the Symbology Chart (page 2–7) to find the Hex value that represents the symbology(s) you want transmitted with one or more Prefixes or Suffixes. Scan the two digits on the Programming Chart (on the inside of the back cover of this menu).

➌Refer to the Hex ASCII Chart (page 2–7) to find the Hex value that represents the ASCII characters you wish to transmit with the bar code data. Use the Programming Chart (inside back cover) to scan the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII characters.

➍To complete Prefix / Suffix programming, scan either:

H Save Current Prefix or Suffix Changes[ programming bar code. This exits, saving the Prefix / Suffix selections you just assigned.

H Discard Current Prefix or Suffix Changes programming bar code. This exits without changing the Prefix / Suffix.

[You may also start scanning bar codes; your Prefix / Suffix selections will be saved.

Programming Steps to Clear (or Delete) One Prefix / Suffix Entry:

➊To clear the Prefix entry for a specific symbology, scan the Clear One Primary Prefix programming bar code.

To clear the Suffix entry for a specific symbology, scan the Clear One Primary Suffix programming bar code.

➋Refer to the Symbology Chart to find the Hex value representing the symbology’s entry you want cleared. Scan the two digits on the Programming Chart (on the inside of the back cover of this menu).

➌You don’t need to scan Save Current ... Changes or Discard Current

... Changes programming bar codes to complete programming.

Other Programming Selections: Scanning the Clear All Primary Prefixes or Clear All Primary Suffixes bar code deletes all Primary Prefix or Suffix selections. You don’t need to scan the Save Current ... Changes or Discard Current ... Changes programming bar code to complete programming.

Note: Prefix / Suffix programming examples may be found on page 2–6.
