Scanner
Label Transmit Configuration (RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge Interfaces only)
If you need to send information in addition to bar code label data, the
scanner can be configured to transmit Global Prefixes (also known as
preambles), Global Suffixes (also known as postambles), and symbol-
ogy specific identifier characters (termed Label I.D.).
Prefix, Suffix, and Label I.D.
The table below shows examples of how Prefix, Suffix, and Label I.D.
characters can be applied.
Column three contains the label data, while columns one, two, four
and five contain the additional characters added by way of the Prefix,
Label I.D. as Prefix, Label I.D. as Suffix, and Global Suffix respectively.
The last column shows the resulting data that will be transmitted when
the additional characters are applied.
