Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The sec- ond character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following: 41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B) and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character conversion: BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were converted to 2 characters. Nothing is done with the last two char- acter pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1.Scan the START bar code.
2.Scan the Character Conversion bar code.
3.Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be deter- mined as in the above example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
4.Turn to Appendix C,
5.Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected, scan the END bar code twice to accept the selections and exit Programming Mode.
NOTE
Scan the END bar code to exit programming mode.
