Label ID
A Label ID is used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. See Appendix D, Factory Default Set-
tings
, for a listing for common symbologies. It can be appended previous to or following the
transmitted bar code data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides
options for configuring custom Label IDs individually per symbology. If you wish to program
the scanner to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see
the previous feature,
AIM ID.
The Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each of which are 00-FF)
followed by a control character (00-01), This control character, when set to zero, does nothing.
When set to one, it appends the symbology’s AIM ID to the Label ID.
To configure a Label ID:
1. Scan the START bar code.
2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scanning the appropriate bar
code.
3. Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a custom Label
ID.
4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will represent the
Label ID for the selected symbology. Next, turn to the
ASCII Chart on the inside back
cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits associated with your choice of
Label ID. For example, if you wish to select an equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart indi-
cates its associated hex characters as 3D.
5. Turn to
Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes representing the hex charac-
ters determined in the previous step. For example, to make an equal sign (=), scan ‘3’ and
‘D’ followed by ‘0’ six times. Since this is a three-character buffer, ‘00’ is scanned for char-
acter two, ‘00’ for character three and ‘00’ for the control character. (‘00’ indicates no
character.)
6. Scan the END bar code to exit programming mode.

NOTE
When the control character is set to 01 for UPC-A and
UPC-E, it expands the label to EAN-13 and thus follows
the EAN-13 Label ID settings.
