Add Suffix; Length Based Bar Code Stripping - Honeywell HX3 User Manual

If 'All' is selected, the prefix is added for any symbology that has not been specifically configured.

Add Suffix

To enable a suffix, check the Suffix check box and enter the desired string in the text box.
The default is disabled (unchecked) with a blank text string. When bar code data is processed, the Suffix string is
sent to the output buffer after the bar code data.
Because all stripping operations have already occurred, stripping settings do not affect the suffix. The suffix is
added to the output buffer for the Symbology selected from the pull down list.
If 'All' is selected, the suffix is added for any symbology that has not been specifically configured.
Note: Non-ASCII equivalent keys in Key Message mode are unavailable in this option. Non-ASCII equivalent
keys include the function keys (e.g., F1), arrow keys, Page up, Page down, Home, and End.

Length Based Bar Code Stripping

Use this procedure to create symbology rules for two bar codes with the same symbology but with different discrete lengths.
This procedure is not applicable for bar codes with variable lengths (falling between a maximum value and a minimum value).
Example 1:
• A normal AIM or Symbol symbology role can be created for the desired bar code ID.
• Next, a custom bar code symbology must be created using the same Code ID as the original AIM or Symbol ID rule and each
rule would have unique length settings.
• Example 2:
For the purposes of this example, the following sample bar code parameters will be used – EAN 128 and Code 128 bar codes.
Some of the bar codes start with '00' and some start with '01'. The bar codes are different lengths.
• 34 character length with first two characters = "01" (strip first 2 and last 18)
• 26 character length with first two characters = "01" (strip first 2 and last 10)
• 24 character length with first two characters = "01" (strip first 2 and last 8). This 24 character bar code is Code 128.
• 20 character length with first two characters = "00" (strip first 0 (no characters) and last 4)
On the Barcode tab, set Enable Code ID to AIM.
Create four custom IDs, using 1 for EAN 128 bar code and 0 for Code 128 bar code.
• c1 = Code = ']C1'
• c2 = Code = ']C1'
• c3 = Code = ']C0' (24 character bar code is Code 128)
• c4 = Code = ']C1'
AIM custom symbology setup is assigned in the following manner:
• c1 min length = 34, max length = 34, strip leading 2, strip trailing 18, Code ID enabled, Barcode Data = "01"
• c2 min length = 26, max length = 26, strip leading 2, strip trailing 10, Code ID enabled, Barcode Data = "01"
• c3 min length = 24, max length = 24, strip leading 2, strip trailing 8, Code ID enabled, Barcode Data = "01"
