EAN-13 — 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 EAN-
13 bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.
Example: Setting the EAN-13 Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent the
EAN-13 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 “F” to represent EAN-13. The hex value
from the table corresponding to ‘F’ is 46. This value will be used in a step
to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET EAN-13 CODE I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to
Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’ and ‘6’
(the value determined in an earlier step).
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 EAN-13 labels would appear as
follows:
Scanned bar code data: 023456788122
Resulting message string output: F023456788122
NOTE
Features configured using the
Data Editing chapter are
universal and will affect all symbologies.
