Character Deactivation Mode
If you have sent a character from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scan-
ning, you can also send a deactivation character to stop scanning.  Scan the On 
bar code below to use character deactivation, then use Deactivation Character 
(following) to select the character you will send from the host to terminate scan-
ning.  Default = Off.
Deactivation Character
This sets the character used to terminate scanning when using Character 
Deactivation Mode.  On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252)on 
page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use 
to terminate scanning.  Scan the bar code below, then use the 
Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents 
that ASCII character.  Scan Save to finish.

Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a sec-
ond time.  Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the 
same bar code.  Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads.  
Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is 
required.  Default = Medium.  
User-Specified Reread Delay
If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the bar code below, 
then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the 
Programming Chart, then scanning Save. 
Output Sequence Overview
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output 
data (when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your appli-
cation requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are 
scanned.  Reading the Default Sequence symbol programs the scanner to 
Short (500 ms)
* Medium (750 ms)
Long (1000 ms)
Extra Long (2000 ms)
User-Specified Reread Delay

the Universal values, shown below.  These are the defaults.  Be certain 
you want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default 
Sequence symbol.
Note: If CodeGate is enabled, you must hold the trigger while reading each 
bar code in a sequence.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the 
code I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application 
requires.  Use the Alphanumeric symbols on the Programming Chart 
to read these options.
To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output 
Sequence, page 3-20).
2.Code I.D.
On the Symbology Chartson page A-1, find the symbology to which you 
want to apply the output sequence format.  Locate the Hex value for that 
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart 
(inside back cover).
3.Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be 
acceptable for this symbology.  Scan the four digit data length from the 
Programming Chart.  (Note:  50 characters is entered as 0050.  9999 is 
a universal number, indicating all lengths.)  When calculating the length, 
you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted 
characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).
4.Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252)on page A-3, find 
the Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match.  Use 
the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that 
represents the ASCII characters.  (99 is the Universal number, 
indicating all characters.)
5.End Output Sequence Editor
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or 
Save to save your entries.

Output Sequence Example
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar 
codes, but you want the scanner to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and 
Code 93 3rd, as shown below.
Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.
You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command
62 code identifier for Code 39
9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”
FF termination string for first code
6A code identifier for Code 128
9999 code length that must match for Code 128, 9999 = all lengths
42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B”
FF termination string for second code
69 code identifier for Code 93
9999 code length that must match for Code 93, 9999 = all lengths
43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C”
FF termination string for third code
To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to 
count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of 
the length.  If you use the example on page 3-18, but assume a  suf-
fix and specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:
SEQBLK62001241FF6A001342FF69001243FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
A - Code 39
B - Code 128
C - Code 93

Sequence Timeout
You may wish to set the maximum time between bar code scans in an out-
put sequence.  If that maximum time is not met, the output sequence oper-
ation is terminated.  Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by 
scanning the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 1-65535 milli-
seconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning 
Save.  Default = 5000 msec.

Sequence Match Beeper
By default, the scanner beeps when a sequence match is found.  If you 
want the scanner to remain silent, scan the Sequence Match Beeper Off 
bar code below.  Default = Sequence Match Beeper On. 
Partial Sequence
If an output sequence operation is terminated before all your output 
sequence criteria are met, the bar code data acquired to that point is a 
“partial sequence.”   
Scan Discard Partial Sequence to discard partial sequences  when the 
output sequence operation is terminated before completion.  
Scan Transmit Partial Sequence to transmit partial sequences.  (Any 
fields in the sequence where no data match occurred will be skipped in the 
output.)
  If you have programmed a Sequence Timeout (page 3-19) and 
the timeout is reached, the partial sequence is transmitted. Default = Dis-
card Partial Sequence.
Require Output Sequence
When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an 
edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit the output data to the host 
device.  When it’s On/Not Required, the scanner will attempt to get the 
output data to conform to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the scanner 
transmits all output data to the host device as is.

When the output sequence is Off, the bar code data is output to the host as 
the scanner decodes it.  Default = Off. 
No Read
With No Read turned On, the scanner notifies you if a code cannot be read.  If 
using an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data Window (see page 8-2), an “NR” 
appears when a code cannot be read.  If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will 
not appear.  Default = Off.
If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” 
you can edit the output message (see Data Formatting beginning on page 5-1).  
The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Data Editing
Prefix/Suffix Overview
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:
Points to Keep In Mind
 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 is dependent on interface.
 A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all 
symbologies.
 You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code 
Page 1252), beginning on page A-3, 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 32 characters, 
which includes header information.
To Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1.Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).
Step 2.Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart 
(included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the 
Pref ix

symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix.  For 
example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3.Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back 
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Step 4.Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code 
Page 1252)on page A-3, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter. 
Step 5.Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the 
back cover of this manual.
Step 6.Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 7.To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
 To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
 To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once 
to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash 
itself.
Step 8.Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.
Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology
To send a CR (carriage return) Suffix for U.P.C. only:
Step 1.Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2.Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart 
(included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for 
U.P.C.
Step 3.Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this 
manual.
Step 4.Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code 
Page 1252)on page A-3, for the CR (carriage return). 
Step 5.Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this 
manual.
Step 6.Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a 
symbology.  If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single sym-
bologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific char-
acter from a symbology.  When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the 
prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
