To Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in Appendix A) for the
symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID
is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual or scan
9, 9 for all symbologies.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, for
the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.
Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.

Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading

backslash and then to create the backslash itself.

Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.
Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology
To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for UPC only:
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in Appendix A) for UPC.
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, for
the CR (carriage return).
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes:
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. When you Clear One
Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you select is deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear
All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
