Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the bar code data) and/
or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code data) as indicated in
Figure 7 .
Figure 7. 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 bar code data. In this
example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.
3. Scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX bar code.
4. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual, to find the hex value
assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is
24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from
Appendix E, Key-
pad .
5. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT bar
code to terminate the string.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code once again to exit Programming Mode.
7. The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data:12345
Resulting message string output: $12345
This option sets up to 20 characters each from the set of ASCII characters or any hex value from
00 to FF. To configure this feature, scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code to place the unit in Pro-
gramming Mode, then the “Set Global Prefix” or “Set Global Suffix,” bar code followed by the
digits (in hex) from the Alphanumeric characters in
Appendix E, Keypad representing your
desired character(s). If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the
ENTER/EXIT bar code to terminate the string. Reference the section,
Example: Setting a
Prefix on page 260 , for more information. Exit programming mode by scanning the
ENTER/EXIT bar code once again.

NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar
code to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at
the beginning.
