Setting Symbology Specific Label Identifiers (Label I.d.) - PSC SP400 Manual

ETTING YMBOLOGY
Symbology-specific label identifiers comprise one or two ASCII characters that can
precede or follow barcode label data as it is transmitted to the host. The host uses
these characters as a means of distinguishing between symbologies.
Industry standards have been established for symbology-specific label identifiers,
and are listed in the table below. Most scanners will have factory default identifiers
preset to these standards.
UPC-A ------------------------------ 'A'
UPC-E ------------------------------ 'E'
EAN-8 ---------------------------- 'FF'
EAN-13 ----------------------------- 'F'
UPC-A (2 add-on) -------------- 'A'
UPC-A (5 Add-on) -------------- 'A'
UPC-A (8 Add-on) --------------- 'A'
UPC-E (2 add-on) -------------- 'E'
UPC-E (5 Add-on) -------------- 'E'
UPC-E (8 Add-on) --------------- 'E'
EAN-8 (2 add-on) ------------- 'FF'

To set symbology-specific label identifiers:
1. Look at the ASCII chart on the inside back cover and identify the
ASCII character(s) and the corresponding Hex Code(s) for the ASCII
characters you will use as identifiers. You will also need to determine
whether the character(s) will need to be sent as a prefix or a suffix.
For example: You need to change the label identifier prefix for
UPC-A to 'A1'.
2. Scan the SET label below.
3. Scan either the TRANSMIT LABEL I.D. AS PREFIX or TRANS-
MIT LABEL I.D. AS SUFFIX, depending on your requirements.
For our example, the 'transmit as prefix' label would be scanned.
