together. More than one * in a configuration string is not allowed. (The User Interface will not prevent it, but results would
not be as expected, as only the first * is used in parsing to match the string.)
• The question mark wildcard ? may be used to match any single character in the incoming data. For example, the data
AB?D will match ABCD, ABcD, or AB0D, but not ABDE.
• The data collected is saved per symbology configured. The Symbology selected in the Symbologies dialog defines the
symbology for which the data is being configured.
• Note that the Code ID (if any are configured) is ignored by this dialog, regardless of the setting of Strip: Code ID in the
Symbologies dialog. According to the sequence of events (specified above), the Code ID must not be included in the bar
code data being matched, because when the matching test occurs, the Code ID has already been stripped. If Strip Code
ID is disabled, then the bar code data to match must include the Code ID. If Strip Code ID is enabled, the data should not
include the Code ID since it has already been stripped.
Add Prefix/Suffix Control
Note: Non-ASCII equivalent keys in Key Message mode are unavailable in this option. Non-ASCII equivalent keys include
the function keys (e.g., <F1>), arrow keys, Page up, Page down, Home, and End.
Use this option to specify a string of text, hex values or hat encoded values to be added to the beginning (prefix) or the end
(suffix) of the bar code data. Up to 19 characters can be included in the string. The string can include any character from
the keyboard plus characters specified by hex equivalent or entering in hat encoding. See Hat Encoding (page 8-38) for a
list of characters with their hex and hat-encoded values.
Using the Escape function allows entering of literal hex and hat values.
Add Prefix
To enable a prefix, check the Prefix checkbox and enter the desired string in the textbox. The default is disabled
(unchecked) with a blank text string.
When bar code data is processed, the Prefix string is sent to the output buffer before any other data. Because all stripping
operations have already occurred, stripping settings do not affect the prefix.
The prefix is added to the output buffer for the Symbology selected from the pulldown list. If ‘All’ is selected, the prefix is
added for any symbology that has not been specifically configured.
Add Suffix
To enable a suffix, check the Suffix checkbox and enter the desired string in the textbox. The default is disabled
(unchecked) with a blank text string.
When bar code data is processed, the Suffix string is sent to the output buffer after the bar code data. Because all stripping
operations have already occurred, stripping settings do not affect the suffix.
The suffix is added to the output buffer for the Symbology selected from the pulldown list. If ‘All’ is selected, the suffix is
added for any symbology that has not been specifically configured.
