Label ID
Product Reference Guide 4-7
Label ID
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to two ASCII characters (00-
FF), used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. It can be appended
previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending upon
how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring
custom Label IDs individually per symbology. If you wish to program
the scanner to always include an industry standard label identifier for
ALL symbology types, see the previous feature,
AIM ID.
To configure a Label ID:
1. Scan the START bar code.
2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scan-
ning the appropriate bar code.
3. Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to con-
figure a custom Label ID.
4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose either one or
two) which will represent the Label ID for the selected symbology.
Next, turn to the
ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this man-
ual and find the equivalent hex digits associated with your choice
of Label ID. For example, if you wish to select an equal sign (=) as
a Label ID, the chart indicates its associated hex characters as 3D.
5. Turn to
Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes rep-
resenting the hex characters determined in the previous step. For
the example given, the characters ‘0’, ‘0’, ‘3’ and ‘D’ would be
scanned. The two zeros scanned (‘0’, ‘0’) represent a selection of
“no character,” since this option allows for two Label ID charac-
ters. (Pad with zeros to enter four hex characters.)
6. Scan the END bar code to exit programming mode.
