Code 128 — continued
Code I.D. Selection
The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable
ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-
mitted Code 128 bar code data depending on how this feature is
enabled.
Example: Setting the Code 128 Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the Code 128 symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion
Chart to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac-
ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “#” (the pound sign)
to represent Code 128. The value from the table corresponding to
‘’#’ is 23. This value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET CODE 128 CODE I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘2’
and ‘3’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘#’).
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Turn to the Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-
TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.
7. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
8. The resulting message string for scanned Code 128 labels would
appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data: 0123456789123
Resulting message string output: #0123456789123
NOTE
Features configured using the Data Editing chapter are
universal and will affect all symbologies.
