Label ID Control
A Label ID is used to identify a barcode (symbology) type. See Appendix
D, Default Settings, for a listing for common symbologies. It can be
appended previous to or following the transmitted barcode data depend-
ing upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for
configuring custom Label IDs individually per symbology. If you wish to
program the scanner to always include an industry standard label identi-
fier for ALL symbology types, see the previous feature, AIM ID.
The Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each
of which are 00-FF) followed by a control character (00-01), This control
character, when set to zero, does nothing. When set to one, it appends the
symbology’s AIM ID to the Label ID.
To configure a Label ID:
1. Scan the START barcode.
2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scanning
the appropriate barcode.
3. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three)
which will represent the Label ID for the selected symbology. Next,
turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and
find the equivalent hex digits associated with your choice of Label
ID. For example, the default Label ID for Code 39 for the Single
Cable RS-232 interface is ‘B’ ‘1’. To change it to ‘R’ ‘4’, the follow-
ing should be performed:
• Scan the Switch label
• Scan the ‘Set Code 39 Label ID’ label
• Scan ‘5’
• Scan ‘2’
• Scan ‘3’
NOTE
When the control character is set to 01 for UPC-A and UPC-E, it expands the
label to EAN-13 and thus follows the EAN-13 Label ID settings.
Label IDs cannot be modified when using the OEM-USB interface.
