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 indi-
cated in Figure 3.

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 (‘$’) as a prefix.
2. Scan the START bar code.
3. Scan the SET PREFIX bar code.
4. Reference the
ASCII Character Set on page 159
on the inside back cover of
this manual, to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The
corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is 24. To enter this selec-
tion code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from
5. Scan the END bar code once to finish the string, then scan END again to
exit Programming Mode.
NOTE
If all 20 characters will be used in the prefix or suffix,
do not scan the END bar code to finish the string. It is
done automatically.
6. The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data:12345
Resulting message string output: $12345
