Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external
keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).


Emulate External Keyboard

Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power

cycle your computer.

Keyboard Conversion

Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lower-
case. So if you have the following bar code:

“abc569GK,” you can make the

output

“ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to

“abc569gk” by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.

These settings override Keyboard Style selections.

Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for

Automatic Caps Lock (page 2-11). Otherwise, your output may not be as
expected.

Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.

Control Character Output

This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example,
when the control character for a carriage return is expected, the output would
display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart
(Code Page 1252) on page A-4. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the
first column of the chart).

Note: Control + ASCII Mode overrides this mode.
