Single Character Prefix or Suffix

The scanner will not transmit a prefix, or suffix character if its hex value is set to zero. To set a prefix or suffix that has only one character, follow these steps:

1.Scan the SET bar code on page 53.

2.Scan SET PREFIX or SET SUFFIX bar code.

3.Turn to the keypad (Appendix C: Keypad on page 147) and scan the two-digit hex code that represents your desired character (refer to the ASCII chart on the inside back cover of this man- ual for this conversion).

4.Scan the digit ‘0’ two times to disable transmission of a second character.

For example, if ‘Space’ (SP) is desired, the chart shows that the corresponding hex code for ‘SP’ is 20, thus you would scan the digit 2, then the digit 0 for the first character, followed by 00 digits from the keypad for the second character, (e.g., scan 2,0,0,0). Return to this page and go to step five.

Successful programming of a prefix or suffix requires 4 digits.

NOTE

 

If you make a mistake or lose your place while

 

setting this option, scan the END bar code to

 

exit Programming Mode. The scanner will

 

sound a two-beep error tone to indicate that

NOTE

programming was incomplete, and the setting

will remain as it was before entering Program-

 

ming Mode.

5.Scan the END bar code on page 53.
