Global Prefix/Suffix — continued
Example: Setting a Prefix
In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.
1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned
bar code data. In this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a pre-
fix.
2. Scan the START bar code.
3. Scan the SET PREFIX bar code.
4. Reference the
ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual,
to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corre-
sponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is 24. To enter this
selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from
Appendix C,
Alpha-Numeric Pad
.
5. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
6. The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data: 12345
Resulting message string output: $12345
NOTE
If less than the expected string of 20 characters are
selected, scan the END bar code twice to accept the
selections and exit Programming Mode.
