Prefix/Suffix and Hidden Character Settings

You can add up to 10 prefixes and/or 10 suffixes to the output data. To configure them, scan the two-digit hexadecimal numeric setup codes that correspond to the required ASCII value (that is, two barcodes per character).

See also

For character values, please refer to ASCII Function Key Character Reference Table and ASCII Character Reference Table; for parameters that require input of numerical values, please scan Numeric Setup Codes; for specific procedures, see Add a Prefix or Suffix.

Can be set to hide the first, middle or last characters of the barcode. After scanning the corresponding hidden setting barcode, scan the two-digit hexadecimal setting barcode corresponding to the length of the characters to be hidden (00~FF, for example, scan 0 and 4 in sequence when hiding 4 characters).

Procedure Examples

Add a Prefix or Suffix

1. If prefix and suffix output has not been enabled, please scan the corresponding output formatting code first.

2. The new characters will be appended to the existing suffixes; if you want to abandon the original suffixes, please scan “Clear all prefixes/suffixes” and then reset them.

3. Scan the “Add Prefix” or “Add Suffix” setting barcode.

4. Determines the hexadecimal value of the prefix or suffix to be entered based on ASCII Function Key Character Reference Table or ASCII Character Reference Table.

5. Scan the corresponding two-digit hexadecimal setting barcode.

6. To continue adding characters, repeat steps 4 and 5.

Example

If you need to add Ctrl+A as a prefix, scan “Add Prefix” “9” “7” “4” “1” in sequence.

Example

If you need to add Ctrl+Alt+A as a suffix, scan “Add suffix” “9” “7” “9” “9” “4” “1” in sequence.

Steps to Hide the First/Middle/Tail Characters of a Barcode

1. Scan the setting barcode that hides the header, middle starting bit, middle length or trailing characters of the barcode.

2. Determine the hexadecimal value corresponding to the character length to be hidden (for example, hide 4 characters scan 0, 4; hide 12 characters scan 0, C).

3. Scan the corresponding two-digit hexadecimal setting barcode.

4. Enable or disable the hidden character function through the output formatting code.

Note

In this section, you edit the format, set it by generating a barcode and scanning it, or send it through a serial command.

Edit format:

$DATA#ncllxx#

n

1 suffix; 2 prefix; 3 hides the tail content of the barcode; 4 hides the middle content of the barcode; 5 hides the first content of the barcode; 7 replaces characters.

c

Code ID currently supports only 0, which indicates all symbologies.

ll

Length, hexadecimal value: 01~0A, hide 01~FF, replace 01~05.

xx

ASCII value. Hexadecimal can be represented by \x plus two characters, and the character range is 0~9, A~F.

One-Code Setup Examples

Command	Description
$DATA#1005abcd\x03#	Add 0x05 suffixes: abcd + 0x03.
$DATA#200ANETUM12345#	Add 0x0A prefix NETUM12345.
$DATA#3008#	Hide the last 0x08 characters of the barcode.
$DATA#40050A#	Hides the 0x0A characters after the 0x05 character in the barcode.
$DATA#5011#	Hide barcode header 0x11 bytes.
$DATA#7001\x1D02GS#	Replace GS (0x1D) characters with GS.
$DATA#7002NT01Z#	Replace NT with Z.

Character replacement operation

Format: $DATA#70 + replaced character length + replaced characters + replacement data length + replacement data #

The sum of the lengths of the replaced characters and the replacement characters is <= 6, supporting 1~6 characters being replaced by 5~0 characters.

Read replacement settings

Clear replacement settings

Example

$DATA#7001\x1D02GS# means replacing the non-displayable character GS (0x1D) with GS for display.

Character replacement operation: GS to text GS

Example

$DATA#7001\x0A01\x0D# means replacing LF (0x0A) with CR (0x0D).

Character replacement operation: LF to CR

Example

$DATA#7006ABCDEF00# means replacing the string ABCDEF with an empty string, that is, not displaying it.

Terminal character settings

Note

This terminal character is independent of the scan engine suffix and wireless suffix, which facilitates quick setting when the scan engine has no suffix.

Note

Only some AI fields are applicable and require special version support.
