Transmitting Label Data 

Transmission of a multi-symbol label consists of a separate message for each of the symbols. 

The symbol with the lower numbered flag digits is transmitted first. For example, for the 3-

symbol combination of JAN-13 flag 21, JAN-13 flag 29, and JAN-13 flag 96, the symbol with 

flag digits 21 is transmitted first, the symbol with flag digits 29 is transmitted second, and the 

symbol with flag digits 96 is transmitted third. 

Programming Multi-Symbol Scanning 

Note:

3-Tag programming option is a Release 1.0 feature only. 

Perform the following to program the 7893 for multi-symbol scanning. 

1.  Disconnect the communications cable from the scanner or the host terminal. 

2.  Apply power to the 7893 . 

3.  To enter the Multi-Symbol program parameters mode, scan the following tags: 

Programming Mode, Hex 1, Hex 3, and Hex F. 

4.  Choose an option: 

  Clear multi-symbol programming by scanning the Hex A tag and the Save and Reset 

tag. 

Result: All previously programmed combinations are cleared from permanent 

memory. The scanner goes through a sequence similar to the power up sequence.  

  Program a 2-symbol label by scanning the Hex 2 tag.  

Result: The scanner sounds two beeps followed by a 1-second pause. After the pause, 

the scanner beeps to indicate the number of labels that are currently in the scanner 

memory. Five beeps indicate a full multi-symbol memory. 

5.  Scan a multi-symbol label (2-symbol label). 

Result: The scanner sounds the Good Read tone one time to indicate that the scanner 

accepted the multi-symbol label. If the multi-symbol label is already in the scanner's 

memory, the scanner then beeps twice for a 2-symbol label. A long, loud tone (error tone) 

indicates that the scanner's memory already has the maximum of five multi-symbol label 

combinations. 

6.  To program more labels, repeat step 4 and step 5 until a maximum of 5 label types (in any 

combination) have been scanned into memory. 

7.  Scan the Save and Reset tag to save the multi-symbol programming. 

Result: The scanner should go through a sequence similar to a power up sequence. 

8.  Remove power from the 7893 and connect the communications cable.
