ISBT 128 User-Defined Concatenation Sequences
Note: You must enable Code 128 and ISBT 128 to use this feature.
The following bar codes are used to create a custom ISBT 128 Concatenation Sequence. Select the identifiers you want to
transmit in the 1st and 2nd positions, both left and right. Refer to the ISBT 128 Standard Technical Specification for the list
of data identifiers.
Use the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2, to find the characters needed for the identifier. Locate the
hex value for each character and scan that 2 digit/character value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Example: You want to create a concatenation sequence that has the Donation Identification Number (001) as the left iden-
tifier, and Product Code (003) as the right identifier.
The ISBT Index of Data Structures shows that for the Donation Identification Number, the first character is “=” and the sec-
ond character can be from A-N; P-Z; 1-9. For this example, use “G.” The Product Code first character is “=” and the second
character is “<.”
Step 1. Scan the 1st Left Identifier bar code, below.
Step 2. Use the Programming Chart to scan 3, D (hex for “=”).
Step 3. Scan Save.
Step 4. Scan the 2nd Left Identifier bar code, below.
Step 5. Use the Programming Chart to scan 4, 7 (hex for “G”).
Step 6. Scan Save.
Step 7. Scan the 1st Right Identifier bar code, below.
Step 8. Use the Programming Chart to scan 3, D (hex for “=”).
Step 9. Scan Save.
Step 10. Scan the 2nd Right Identifier bar code, below.
Step 11. Use the Programming Chart to scan 3, C (hex for “<”).
Step 12. Scan Save.
Once you have programmed the concatenation sequence, use ISBT 128 User-Defined Concatenation Sequences to
enable this feature. Default = 0.
