Global Prefix/Suffix

Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the barcode data) and/
or as a suffix (in a position following the barcode data) as indicated in

Figure 4-2

.

Figure 4-2. Prefix and Suffix Positions

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 barcode data. In this

example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.

2. Scan the START barcode.

3. Scan the SET PREFIX barcode.

4. Reference the

ASCII Chart

on the inside back cover of this manual, to find the hex value

assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is
24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ barcodes from

Appendix C, Alpha-

Numeric Pad

.

5. Scan the END barcode to exit Programming Mode.

6. The resulting message string would appear as follows:

Scanned barcode data:12345
Resulting message string output: $12345

NOTE

If less than the expected string of 20 characters are
selected, scan the END barcode twice to accept the
selections and exit Programming Mode.
