Label Transmit Configuration (RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge Interfaces only)

If you need to send information in addition to bar code label data, the scanner can be configured to transmit Global Prefixes (also known as preambles), Global Suffixes (also known as postambles), and symbol- ogy specific identifier characters (termed Label I.D.).

Prefix, Suffix, and Label I.D.

The table below shows examples of how Prefix, Suffix, and Label I.D. characters can be applied.

Column three contains the label data, while columns one, two, four and five contain the additional characters added by way of the Prefix, Label I.D. as Prefix, Label I.D. as Suffix, and Global Suffix respectively. The last column shows the resulting data that will be transmitted when the additional characters are applied.

 

Using this feature requires a thorough understand-

 

ing of your specific system requirements. If you

 

have questions or need assistance with these fea-

tures, call your system specialist or PSC technical

support.
