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.
For example, to add the common suffix code A, the hexadecimal setting code is 02110041; to add the common prefix code A, the hexadecimal setting code is 02160041. Additionally, you must add a character after the barcode and then add Enter. To add the character + after the bar code and then add Enter, use the setting code 0213@+\r;...
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:: To accumulate, use 0218A. 5.3. Sleep time setting / button timeout setting 1. Sleep time setting code: 0310nnn If X seconds of sleep is required and calculated in hexadecimal (4 for base), the formula is x/4=NNN.
5.4. Hiding Characters The hidden suffix character setting code is 0233nn. To hide a suffix of 5 characters, the setting code is 023305. The hidden prefix setting code is 0234nn. If 023405 hides a prefix of 5 characters, the value of nn changes the number of hidden characters.
