Setting Single
Character
Label I.D.
The scanner will not transmit a label I.D. character if its hex value is set
to zero. If you have determined that you need a Label I.D. that contains
only a single character, follow this modified procedure:
1. Scan the SET bar code on page on page 56.
2. Scan your selection from the list starting on page 56 for the
symbology identifier you plan to change.
For example, scan the EAN-8 bar code to select that symbology.
3. Turn to the keypad (Appendix C: Keypad on page 147) and scan
the two-digit hex code that represents your desired character
(refer to the ASCII chart on the inside back cover of this man-
ual for this conversion).
4. Scan the digit ‘0’ two times to disable transmission of a
second character. Return to this page.
As an example, assume that you want to change the Label I.D. for
EAN-8 from the default setting “FF” to the single character “8”. In this
example, note that the chart shows that the ASCII character ‘8’ is equiv-
alent to 38 hex, therefore the digits 3, then 8 should be scanned fol-
lowed by two zeros (00) to indicate a single character I.D. (e.g., scan
3,8,0,0)
5. Scan the END bar code on page 58.
Disabling
Label I.D. for a
Specific
Symbology
This procedure is the same as Setting Single Character Label I.D. above,
except you should scan four zeros before scanning the END bar code.
NOTE
Successful programming requires 4 digits for
the Label I.D.
NOTE
If you make a mistake or lose your place while
setting this option, scan the END bar code to
exit Programming Mode. The scanner will
sound a two-beep error tone to indicate that
programming was incomplete, and the setting
will remain as it was before entering Program-
ming Mode.
