LABEL TRANSMIT FORMAT CONFIG

SETTING SYMBOLOGY SPECIFIC LABEL IDENTIFIERS (LABEL I.D.)

Symbology-specific label identifiers comprise one or two ASCII characters that can precede or follow barcode label data as it is transmitted to the host. The host uses these characters as a means of distinguishing between symbologies.

Industry standards have been established for symbology-specific label identifiers, and are listed in the table below. Factory default identifiers are preset to these standards for the SP400RF scanner.

UPC-A		'A'	EAN-8 (8 Add-on)		'FF'
UPC-E	------------------------	'E'	EAN-13	(2 add-on) --------	'F'
EAN-8	-----------------------	'FF'	EAN-13	(5 Add-on) --------	'F'
EAN-13 -----------------------		'F'	EAN-13	(8 Add-on) ---------	'F'
UPC-A (2 add-on) ---------		'A'	Code 39 ----------------------		'*'
UPC-A (5 Add-on) ---------		'A'	Codabar ---------------------		'%'
UPC-A (8 Add-on) ----------		'A'	Interleaved.2 of 5 -----------		'i'
UPC-E (2 add-on) ---------		'E'	Standard.2 of 5 -------------		's'
UPC-E (5 Add-on) ---------		'E'	Code 93 ----------------------		'&'
UPC-E (8 Add-on) ----------		'E'	Code 128 --------------------		'#'
EAN-8	(2 add-on) ---------	'FF'	MSI/Plessey ----------------		'@'
EAN-8	(5 Add-on) --------	'FF'

TABLE 1. INDUSTRY STANDARD LABEL IDENTIFIERS (ALL ARE PREFIXES)

To set symbology-specific label identifiers:

1.Look at the ASCII chart shown on the previous page and identify the ASCII character(s) and the corresponding Hex Code(s) for the ASCII characters you will use as identifiers.

You will also need to determine whether the character(s) will need to be sent as a prefix or a suffix.

For example: You need to change the label identifier prefix for UPC-A to 'A1'.

2.Scan the SET label below.

3.Scan either the TRANSMIT LABEL I.D. AS PREFIX or TRANS- MIT LABEL I.D. AS SUFFIX, depending on your requirements.

For our example, the 'transmit as prefix' label would be scanned.
