Enable GS1 Limited 01771 Disable GS1 Limited (default) 01770 GS1 Limited ID as k 0178k Note: The setting code type is code128. When generating a barcode, you must add ^3 before the barcode; for example: ^3+****** (required barcode). The ASCll codes in the above table are all decimal. For hexadecimal ASCII codes, refer to ASCII Table Page | 51...
5. Prefix / Suffix Code Setting Instructions The pre/suffix code is divided into a common pre/suffix code and a private pre/suffix code. The common pre/suffix code means that the pre/suffix code is added before a barcode; the private pre/suffix code refers to a certain type of barcode, such as code 128 codes and code 39, a specific barcode to which the pre/suffix is added.
2. In the second way, the prefix and suffix codes are added. Setting codes are scanned and set through ASCII code. The setting codes are 021100nn (suffix code) and 021600nn (prefix code). This ASCII setting is hexadecimal. Refer to ASCII Table 2 for specific parameters. For example, to add the common suffix code A, the hexadecimal setting code is 02110041;...
Please refer to Code Table 1 for other types of barcodes. Likewise, to add a specific barcode with a prefix code, all Code 128 codes are needed before the letter A; there are two ways to do so: 1. 0216 0141 See Table 1 below for explanation.
5.3.1. Hiding Characters The hidden suffix character setting code is 0233nn. To hide the suffix 5 characters, the setting code is 023305. The hidden prefix setting code is 0234nn. If 023405 is hides the prefix 5 characters, just change the value of nn to change the number of hidden characters.
