Code I.D. Selection
The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable
ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-
mitted UPC-A bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.
Example: Setting the UPC-A Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the UPC-A symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion
Chart
, to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac-
ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “A” to represent
UPC-A. The value from the table corresponding to ‘A’ is 41. This
value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET UPC-A CODE I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to
Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’
and ‘1’ (the value 41 determined in an earlier step to represent a
Code I.D. of ‘A’).
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Turn to the
Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-
TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.
7. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
8. The resulting message string for scanned UPC-A labels would
appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data: 0123456789123
Resulting message string output: A0123456789123
NOTE
Features configured using the
Data Editing chapter are
universal and will affect all symbologies.
