Code 128 — 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 Code

128 bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.

Example: Setting the Code 128 Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

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

128 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 “#” (the pound sign) to represent Code 128. The

value from the table corresponding to ‘’#’ is 23. This value will be used in

a step to follow.

2. Scan the START bar code

3. Scan the SET CODE 128 CODE I.D. bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘2’ and ‘3’

(the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘#’).

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 Code 128 labels would appear as

follows:

Scanned bar code data: 0123456789123

Resulting message string output: #0123456789123

NOTE

Features configured using the

Data Editing chapter are

universal and will affect all symbologies.
