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 indi-
cated in
Figure 3. 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 ('$') as a prefix.
2. Scan the Enter/Exit Programming Mode bar code.
3. Scan the SET PREFIX bar code.
4. Reference the
this manual, to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The
corresponding hex number for the '$' character is 24. To enter this selec-
tion code, scan the '2' and '4' bar codes from
