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 break-
down of a message string:

• It is not necessary to build a message string.  The selections in this 

chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings.  

Default 

prefix = None.  Default suffix = None.

• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all 

symbologies.

• You can add any prefix or suffix from the 

 beginning on page A-4, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.

• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one 

time.

• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear 

on the output.

• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all 

symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix 
or suffix character.

• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, 

which includes header information.
