RESOLUTION

A 'STX' prefix and an 'ETX' suffix can be configured by using the "MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide" which can be downloaded from here.

Scan the bar code 'Enter Exit Configuration Mode' (page 1-1).
Scan the bar code 'Recall Defaults' (page 1-2).
Scan the bar code 'Disable CR Suffix' (page 8-6).
Scan the bar code 'Disable LF Suffix' (page 8-6).
Scan the bar code 'Enable STX Prefix' (page 8-4).
Scan the bar code 'Enable ETX Suffix' (page 8-6).
Scan the bar code 'Enter Exit Configuration Mode' (page 1-1).

These settings will configure the scanner to transmit a STX (ASCII 02H) at the beginning and an ETX (ASCII 03H) at the end of each bar code.
