EAN-8 — 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 trans-
mitted EAN-8 bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.
Example: Setting the EAN-8 Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the EAN-8 symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion
Chart
to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac-
ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “FF” to represent
EAN-8. The hex value from the table corresponding to ‘F’ is 46.
This value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET EAN-8 CODE I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to
Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’
and ‘6’ (the value determined in an earlier step). Scan the bar codes
‘4’ and ‘6’ a second time to represent the second ‘F’ needed to
identify the Code I.D.
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Turn to the
Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-
TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.
7. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
8. The resulting message string for scanned EAN-8 labels would
appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data: 02345673
Resulting message string output: FF02345673
NOTE
Features configured using the
Data Editing chapter are
universal and will affect all symbologies.
