When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along
with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is
called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the
user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned
data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies or only with specific
symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown of a message string.
