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 capital 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, AG15TA81, it would look as follows after the character conversion:
BG25TB82.
The A characters were converted to the B character and the 1 characters were converted to the
numeral 2 character. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Scan the Enter/Exit Programming Mode bar code.
2. Scan the Character Conversion bar code.
3. Determine the desired string. Up to sixteen positions can be determined as in the above
example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find
the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
NOTE
The positions not used must be filled with the character ‘F’.
and scan the bar codes representing the hex charac-
ters determined in the previous step. When the last character is scanned, the scanner will
sound a triple beep.
5. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the Enter/Exit Programming Mode bar
code.
