Intermec 5055 Reference Guide

Sets the preamble that precedes any data you scan with a scanner attached to the 5055.
Common preambles include a data location number or an operator number.

 You can set the preamble to use characters from the extended ASCII character

set. However, you cannot scan in extended ASCII characters in the Preamble command.

ADdata

Acceptable values for data are up to 25 ASCII characters. When you enter the AD
command without data, the preamble is disabled. If you are entering quotation marks as
data or grouping configuration commands, you need to enclose the data within
quotation marks (see the example).

 To scan a bar code label that includes quotes, you must configure the 5055 to use

Code 39 in Full ASCII mode. For help, see “Code 39” earlier in this chapter.

Disabled (no characters)
