Scanner
Page 39
For example, if a Code 39 label containing 2 characters were scanned in Step 3 then only Code 39 labels
would be checked for a minimum length of 2 characters. If a second label had been read in Step 3
(immediately following the first), then that particular symbology would have been set to its associated
minimum character length.
In a similar manner, the maximum length for selected codes can be established by using the “Enable
maximum length for selected codes” (HM) command.

The Z3 command can be used to instruct the scanner to provide a list of its current software settings
including prefixes and suffixes.
The scanner can be programmed to transmit a prefix and/or suffix with the decoded data. A Prefix (or a
Suffix) is composed of up to 4 characters. The following steps are used to establish a Prefix that will be
transmitted with the bar code data:
1.
Scan Start
2.
Scan the bar code representing the symbology to which you wish to add a Prefix/Suffix
3.
Scan the character(s) that will comprise the Prefix/Suffix. Up to four numeric, alpha or control
character(s) may be used. Scanning no characters will delete the Prefix/Suffix
4.
Scan “STOP” to exit the Programming Mode.
In addition, the scanner can be programmed to transmit a preamble and/or postamble with the decoded
data. A Preamble and/or postamble can be composed of up to 8 characters each and will apply to all
symbologies. The following steps are used to establish a Preamble and/or postamble that will be
transmitted with the bar code data:
1.
Scan Start
2.
Scan the MZ for preamble or PS for Postamble
3.
Scan the character(s) that will comprise the Preamble/Postamble. Up to eight characters may be
used. Scanning no characters will delete the Preamble/Postamble.
4.
Scan “STOP” to exit the Programming Mode.
Example
: To add the alpha character “A” as a Prefix and “B” as a
Suffix to UPC-A bar code data:
1.
Scan “START/END Programming Mode”
2.
Scan N1, representing a Prefix for UPC-A
3.
Scan 0A, representing the alpha character “A”
4.
Scan N6, representing a Suffix for UPC-A
5.
Scan 0B, representing the alpha character “B”
6.
Scan “START/END Programming Mode”
