Hide Prefix or Suffix Digits

The start/middle/end of barcode characters can be hidden. After scanning the hide set barcode, scan a double-digit hexadecimal number for the length of characters to hide (e.g., hide 4 chars, scan 0,4; hide 12 chars, scan 0,C).

Procedures

1. Scan the Hide Barcode Start / Middle Start / Middle length / End Chars symbol.
2. Determine the hex value for the length you wish to enter (e.g., hide 4 chars, scan 0,4; hide 12 chars, scan 0,C).
3. Scan the 2-digit hex value from the Numeric Bar Codes.
4. Scan the output format to enable or cancel the hide character function.

Hide Barcode Commands:

• Hide Barcode Start Chars: [Barcode: $SCAN#5]
• Hide Barcode Middle Char Start: [Barcode: $SCAN#6]
• Hide Barcode Middle Chars: [Barcode: $SCAN#7]
• Hide Barcode End Chars: [Barcode: $SCAN#8]

Output Format

To change the Scan Data Transmission Format, scan one of the eight barcodes corresponding to the desired format.

• Enable Hide Barcode Start Char: [Barcode: $DATA#5]
• Enable Hide Barcode Middle Char: [Barcode: $DATA#4]
• Enable Hide Barcode End Char: [Barcode: $DATA#3]

Custom Prefix and Suffix

Maximum 20 prefixes and 20 suffixes can be added to scan data for use in data editing. To set these values, scan a double-digit hexadecimal number (i.e., two barcodes) that corresponds to ASCII values. See Table 1 and Numeric Bar Codes in the appendix.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

1. Scan command barcode of "Add Prefix" or "Add Suffix".
2. Check the prefix or suffix hex value from the ASCII Chart.
3. Scan the 2-digit hex value from the Numeric Bar Codes.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for all prefixes or suffixes you want to add.
5. Scan the output format to enable or disable prefix/suffix output.

Prefix/Suffix Commands:

• Add Prefix: [Barcode: $SCAN#2]
• Clear All Prefix: [Barcode: $SCAN#4]
• Add Suffix: [Barcode: $SCAN#1]
• Clear All Suffix: [Barcode: $SCAN#3]

Numeric Bar Codes

Output Format

To change the Scan Data Transmission Format, scan one of the eight barcodes corresponding to the desired format.

• *Default output format: [Barcode: $DATA#0]
• Enable Prefix output: [Barcode: $DATA#2]
• Enable Suffix output: [Barcode: $DATA#1]

Example: Adding Normal Prefix or Suffix

To add "A" and "B" as prefixes and "!" as suffix to the barcode "123456789":

Step 1: Add Prefix

1. Scan command barcode of "Add Prefix". [Barcode: $SCAN#2]
2. Check prefix hex value from ASCII Chart: A-"4","1"; B-"4","2".
3. Scan the 2-digit hex value from Numeric Bar Codes: [Barcode: $NO#4] [Barcode: $NO#4]
4. Scan the output format to enable prefix output: [Barcode: $DATA#2]

Step 2: Add Suffix

1. Scan command barcode of "Add Suffix" to add "!" as suffix. [Barcode: $SCAN#1]
2. Check suffix hex value from ASCII Chart: !-"2","1".
3. Scan the 2-digit hex value from Numeric Bar Codes: [Barcode: $NO#2] [Barcode: $NO#1]
4. Scan the output format to enable suffix output: [Barcode: $DATA#1]

After these steps, scanning "123456789" will yield "AB123456789!".

Example: Adding Combination Key Suffix

To add "Ctrl+P" as a suffix to the barcode "123456789":

Step 1: Add Suffix

1. Scan command barcode of "Add Suffix". [Barcode: $SCAN#1]
2. Check suffix hex value from ASCII Chart: Ctrl+P - "9","7","5","0".
3. Scan the 4-digit hex value from the Numeric Bar Codes: [Barcode: $NO#9] [Barcode: $NO#7] [Barcode: $NO#5] [Barcode: $NO#1]
4. Scan the output format to enable suffix output: [Barcode: $DATA#1]

Scan "Keyboard Ctrl Combination Key" [Barcode: $NO#0] and then scan the barcode "123456789" (test it on Excel).
