EAN-8 — 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-8

bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.

Example: Setting the EAN-8 Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

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

EAN-8 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 “FF” to represent EAN-8. 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-8 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). Scan the bar codes ‘4’ and ‘6’ a

second time to represent the second ‘F’ needed to identify the Code I.D.

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-8 labels would appear as

follows:

Scanned bar code data: 02345673

Resulting message string output: FF02345673

NOTE

Features configured using the

Data Editing chapter are

universal and will affect all symbologies.
