Setting Single

Character

Label I.D.

The scanner will not transmit a label I.D. character if its hex value is set to zero. If you have determined that you need a Label I.D. that contains only a single character, follow this modified procedure:

1.Scan the SET bar code on page on page 58.

2.Scan your selection from the list starting on page 58 for the symbology identifier you plan to change.

For example, scan the EAN-8 bar code to select that symbology.

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. Return to this page.

As an example, assume that you want to change the Label I.D. for EAN-8 from the default setting “FF” to the single character “8”. In this example, note that the chart shows that the ASCII character ‘8’ is equivalent to 38 hex, therefore the digits 3, then 8 should be scanned followed by two zeros (00) to indicate a single character I.D. (e.g., scan 3,8,0,0)

5.Scan the END bar code on page 60.

Successful programming requires 4 digits for the Label I.D.

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.

Disabling Label I.D. for a Specific Symbology

This procedure is the same as Setting Single Character Label I.D. above, except you should scan four zeros before scanning the END bar code.
