Please Keep In Mind...
•
Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is a sophisticated feature allowing
highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default settings for data editing is typically set to
NONE.
•
A prefix or suffix may be applied only to a specified symbology (reference
page
81) or across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).
•
You can add any character from the
prefix, suffix or Label ID.
•
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the bar code data) and/or as a suffix (in a
position following the bar code data) as indicated in Figure 7.

Prefix
Example: Setting a Prefix
In this example, we'll set a prefix for all symbologies.
1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned bar code data. In this example, we'll add a
dollar sign ('$') as a prefix.
2. Go to
page 48
and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code, then scan the SET
GLOBAL PREFIX bar code.
3. Reference the

desired character. The corresponding hex number for the '$' character is 24. To enter this selection code, scan
the '2' and '4' bar codes from
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.
4. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code to terminate the
string.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code once again to exit Programming Mode.
6. The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data: 12345
Resulting message string output: $12345
