Set Global Mid Label ID Character(s)

Specifies a mid-label ID that is added for transmission between the labels of a
two label pair. The expected string is a maximum of 20 characters. When com-
bining two label pairs into a single label for transmission to the host, this label
ID can be added to the data, following the first label and preceding the second
label. To set this feature...
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.
2. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to twenty) which
will represent the Mid Label ID for two label pairs. If the first character is
00, then nothing is added between the two labels.
3. Turn to the
and find the equivalent hex digits associated with your choice of Label ID.
For example, if you wish to select the characters 'M', 'I' and 'D' as a Label
ID, the chart indicates its associated hex characters as 4D4944. Turn to

characters determined. For the example given, the characters '4', 'D', '4',
'9', '4' and '4' would be scanned. More examples of Label ID settings are
provided in
NOTE
4. The reader will save the string and exit Programming Mode when...
the ENTER/EXIT baqr code is scanned a second time, or
the hex values for all twenty available characters have been entered, or
the first 00 hex value entered terminates the string.
This completes the steps to configure a Global Mid Label ID for two label pairs

Character Conversion

Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4
character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in
the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair
is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no
conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the
following: 41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII cap-
ital B) and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2).
The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character
conversion: BB22BB22.

If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar
code to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at
the beginning.
