V、Data Editing
1. Prefix & Suffix
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.
（1）To add a Prefix or Suffix
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 5-2).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the
Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the symbology to which you want to
apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is "j" and Hex ID is "6A".
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252),
beginning on page A-3, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.
Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0. To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.To add a
backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to create the
leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.
（2）To Clear one or all prefix or suffix
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. If
you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear
One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology. When you Clear
All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the
Symbology Charts,
