assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is 24.
To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ barcodes from
codes in this appendix to enter numbers as you would select digits/characters from a key-
pad.

If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode
to terminate the string.
5
Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again to exit Programming Mode.

The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Readed barcode data:
