Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are
4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first charac-
ter in the pair is the characte
r that will be converted. The second character in
the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is
FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character c
onversion configuration item set to
the following: 41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII
capi
tal 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, AB12BA21, it would look as
follows after the character con-
version: BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were
converted
to 2 characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs,
since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Go to page 62 and scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.
2. Scan the “Configure Character Conversion” bar code.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as
i
n 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.
4. Turn to Appendix D, Keypad and scan the bar codes representing the
hex characters determined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code to exit Programming Mode.
If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected, scan the
ENTER/EXIT bar code twice to accept the selections and exit Program-
ming Mode.
