A Label ID is used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. See
Default
previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending upon how
this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom
Label IDs individually per symbology. If you wish to program the scanner to
always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types,
see the feature,
The Label ID is a customizable code of up to four ASCII characters (each of
which are 00-7F) followed by a control character (00-01), This control charac-
ter, when set to zero, does nothing. When set to one, it appends the symbol-
ogy's AIM ID to the Label ID.
NOTE
To configure a Label ID:
1. Scan the START bar code.
2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scanning the appro-
priate bar code.
3. Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a
custom Label ID.
4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will
represent the Label ID for the selected symbology. Next, turn to the
Character Set on page 159
find the equivalent hex digits associated with your choice of Label ID. For
example, if you wish to select an equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart
indicates its associated hex characters as 3D.
5. Turn to
ing the hex characters determined in the previous step. For example, to
make an equal sign (=), scan '3' and 'D' followed by '0' six times. Since
this is a three-character buffer, '00' is scanned for character two, '00' for
character three and '00' for the control character. ('00' indicates no char-
acter.)
6. Scan the END bar code to exit programming mode.
