Please refer to the Naurtech CETerm Scripting Guide for detailed description.

Use barcodes to invoke Operations or Keystrokes

For all our Emulators and Web Browser, you can scan a barcode with special content to simulate
Keystrokes. In fact, any application operation can be invoked via ID action (IDA) codes with this
approach. The barcode can be any symbology, but "Extended Code 39" is a good choice.
Extended Code 39 is also called the "Full ASCII" mode of Code 39. By using two-character
sequences, it can represent the needed backslash and underscore characters.

With Extended Code 39 symbology, the scanner is often configured to require a '*' as a start and
stop character. Make sure your generated barcodes are compliant with your scanner
configuration whether you use Code 39 or some other symbology.

The content of the barcode is in the form:

*\IDA_name\* where name is the "Symbolic Name" of

the IDA action. These values are unique to our application.

There is a ―Free 3 of 9 Extended‖ font available for Microsoft Windows operating systems, which
may be used to represent text into Extended Code 39 barcode. You can download this from the
Naurtech support knowledgebase.

Note that if an IDA action is decoded at the start of a barcode, all additional characters are
ignored. Also, there is no "stripping" of characters and no pre- or post-ambles are sent. Any
barcode length restrictions may still be imposed by the symbology configuration.
Here are some samples containing special host key and application operation barcodes
