UPC-E — continued

Code I.D. Selection

The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable ASCII

characters. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted UPC-E

bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.

Example: Setting the UPC-E Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent the

UPC-E symbology. Reference

Appendix A, ASCII Conversion Chart, to find

the corresponding hex values for your chosen character(s). In this example

we’ll set a Code I.D. of “E” to represent UPC-E. The value from the table

corresponding to ‘E’ is 45. This value will be used in a step to follow.

2. Scan the START bar code

3. Scan the SET UPC-E CODE I.D. bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’ and ‘5’

(the value 45 determined in an earlier step to represent a Code I.D. of

‘E’).

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Turn to the

Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSITION:

BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.

7. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

8. The resulting message string for scanned UPC-E labels would appear as

follows:

Scanned bar code data: 01234565

Resulting message string output: E01234565

NOTE

Features configured using the

Data Editing chapter are

universal and will affect all symbologies.
