To Add a Prefix or Suffix
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
Appendix A) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or
suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the inside the back cover of this manual or
scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252), page A-3, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.
Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the inside the back cover of this man-
ual.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to
create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.
Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual to apply this suffix to all symbologies.
Step 3. Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual. This corresponds with the hex value for a horizontal tab,
shown in the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on
page A-3.
Step 4. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbol-
ogy. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you select is
deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes),
all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
