Data Editing
Prefix/Suffix Overview
When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the
host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar
code data and additional user-defined data is called a “message
string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-
defined data into the message string.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data
characters that can be sent before and
after scanned data. You can specify if
they should be sent with all
symbologies, or only with specific
symbologies.
The following illustration shows the break-down of a message
string:
Points to Keep In Mind
 It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections
in this chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default
settings. Default prefix = None. Default suffix is dependent
on interface.
 A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one
symbology or all symbologies.
 You can add any prefix or suffix through ASCII Conversion.
 You can string together several entries for several
symbologies at one time.
