Data Editing

Prefix/Suffix Overview

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.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and
after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies,
or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the break-
down of a message string:

Points to Keep In Mind

It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter
are only used if you wish to alter the default settings.

Default prefix = None.

Default suffix = None.

A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all
symbologies.

You can add any prefix or suffix from the

ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page

1252)

on page A-2, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.

You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.

Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on
the output.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (

page 4-3

).

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in

Appendix A

) 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.
