 By scanning the barcodes below, you can program your MetroLogic scanner to provide a standard prefix in front of the barcode.   The prefix normally used is called an STX prefix.  STX stands for STart Text, and is also called a control-B prefix, and is technically an ASCII code #2 character.   By scanning the barcodes below, you can program your MetroLogic scanner to provide a standard prefix in front of the barcode.   The prefix normally used is called an STX prefix.  STX stands for STart Text, and is also called a control-B prefix, and is technically an ASCII code #2 character.

 Scan the following codes, in order from start to finish, to add an STX prefix to all scanned codes.  This process is reversible, but will permanently affect all scanned codes until it is disabled.  As a rule you should never need to disable an STX prefix when using your scanner with Windward's software. Scan the following codes, in order from start to finish, to add an STX prefix to all scanned codes.  This process is reversible, but will permanently affect all scanned codes until it is disabled.  As a rule you should never need to disable an STX prefix when using your scanner with Windward's software.

 +For most of the Metrologic Brands of scanners, you may just need to scan the "Enable STX Prefix" barcode pictured below. If that does not work, first enter program mode by scanning the Enter / Exit program Mode barcode, then scan the STX Prefix On barcode and finally, exit program mode by rescanning the Enter / Exit barcode. If that does not work for your Metrologic Scanner, try the other options listed at the bottom.

 +If neither of these codes allow you to set the Ctrl+B (STX Prefix), then download the programming manual here:

 +Once you have it, you will need to print out the Start/End Config barcode on the Introduction page, as well as the STX Prefix barcode on page 8-4 (page 46 of 116). Make sure that when you print these two pages, that you print them at the Actual size. You can not resize the pages, of have it fit to page, because that will alter the size of the barcode and it will not be scanable.
