Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character
pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the charac-
ter that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If
th
e character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the chara
cter conversion configuration item set to the following:
41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4
142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B)
and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two
pairs are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AG15TA81, it would look as follows afte
r the character conversion:
BG25TB82.
The A characters were converted to the B character and the 1 characters were converted to
the
numeral 2 character. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all
FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Scan the START/END barcode.
2. Scan the Character Conversion barcode.
3. Determine the desired string. Up to sixteen positions
can be determined as in the above
example. Next, turn to the
ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find
the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
NOTE
The positions not used must be filled with the
ch
aracter ‘F’.
4. Turn to Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the barcodes representing the hex char-
acters determined in the previous step. When the
last character is scanned, the scanner
will sound a triple beep.
5. Scan the START/END barcode to exit Programming Mode.
