• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which includes
header information.
Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 55).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Charts (beginning on page 200)
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 Programming Chart, beginning on page 211 , or scan
9, 9 for all symbologies.
To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add the AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add the serial number, scan 5, C, 8, 8.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note:
When adding a backslash (\), you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading backslash
and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 5. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat the steps above 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, beginning on page 211 to apply this suffix to
all symbologies.
Step 3. Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 211. This corresponds
with the hex value for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code
Page 1252), beginning on page 203.
Step 4. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. If you have
