Prefix/Suffix Settings
Note:Add up to 10 characters as prefix and suffix to each barcode
1:Add customize prefix or suffix to all code types.
E.g.1:Add XYZ as prefix or suffix:
Step 1:Checking Appendix 1: the HEX value of all code is 99.
Step 2:Checking Appendix 2: the HEX value of X Y Z are 58,59,5A.
Step 3:Scanning setting code“Add Prefix”or “Add Suffix”in page 16.
Step 4:Find the setting codes corresponding to 9, 9, 5, 8, 5, 9, 5, A in Appendix 3 and scan them
one by one
Step 5:Scanning setting code“Save”in page 17.
Note:If an error occurs while scanning the setup code in Appendix 3,scan setting code
"Abandon", and repeat step 3.
2:Add customize prefix or suffix for a specific code type.
E.g.2:Add Q as prefix for QR code.
Step 1:Checking Appendix 1:the HEX value of QR code is 73
Step 2:Checking Appendix 2:the HEX value of Q is 51
Step 3:Scanning setting code“Add Prefix”or “Add Suffix”in page 16.
Step 4:Find setting codes corresponding to 7, 3, 5,1 in Appendix 3 and scan them one by one
Step 5:Scanning setting code“Save”in page 17.
3:Cancel customize prefix or suffix for a specific code type
E.g.3:Cancel customize prefix or suffix for QR code.
Step 1:Checking Appendix 1:the HEX value of QR code is 73
Step 2:Scan setting code“Clear Prefix for one code”or “Clear Suffix for one code”in page 16
Step 3:Find setting codes corresponding to 7, 3 in Appendix 3 and scan them one by one
Note:If you need to cancel the prefix or suffix of all code types, please scan setting code"Clear
All Prefix"or"Clear All Suffix".

Scan following setting codes to choose all code types enabled or disabled.
Decode Length Settings
Introduction:The effective reading length of some code types can be set. If the data
length of the code does not match the effective reading length, the barcode scanner
will beep specially to show the error. If setting the same value for the minimum and
maximum length, the bar code scanner will only read a code of a fixed length. It helps
reduce misreading.
E.g.: Setting Code 93 code decode length as 06-10 characters
Minimum Length=06,Maximum Length=10
Step 1:Scanning setting code“Min Decode Length”of Code 93 in page 24
Step 2:Find the setting code corresponding to 6 in Appendix 3 and scan it
Step 3:Scanning setting code“Save”.
Step 4:Scanning setting code“Max Decode Length”of code 93 in page 24
Step 5:Find the setting code corresponding to 1,0 in Appendix 3 and scan them one by one
Step 6:Scanning setting code“Save”.
Done
Notes:1:It also can read setting codes in this manual after scanning setting code
“Disable All Codes”.
2:It can not read 2D postal code even scanning setting code“Enable All Code”
Scanning setting code“Enable”of 2D postal code in page
3:If you need the scanner only read one or several code types,scanning“Disable
All Codes”and then scanning “Enable”of those code types.

When barcode cascading is enabled, the barcode scanner will look for a barcode with a "D"
character at the beginning and a neighboring barcode with a "D" character at the end. In this
case, the two barcodes will form one barcode, and ignore all the "D" characters in the barcode
