Keyboard Wedge Modifiers
ALT Mode
If your bar code contains special characters from the extended ASCII chart 
for example, an e with an accent grave (è), you will use ALT Mode.  (See 
Extended ASCII Characters on page A-5.)
Note: Scan the ALT mode bar code after scanning the appropriate 
Keyboard Country code.

If your keystrokes require using the ALT key and 3 characters, scan the 3 
Characters bar code.  If your keystrokes require the ALT key and 4 charac-
ters, scan the 4 Characters bar code.  The data is then output with the spe-
cial character(s).  Default = Off.
Keyboard Style
This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock.  If you 
have used Keyboard Conversion settings, they will override any of the fol-
lowing Keyboard Style settings.  Default = Regular.
Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.
Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.
Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not com-
mon to U.S. keyboards).

Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., 
Germany, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps 
Lock.  The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but 
uses the NumLock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.
Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an 
external keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).  
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 
lowercase.  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.  
Default = Keyboard Conversion Off. 
Keyboard Modifiers
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and 
Turbo Mode.

Control + ASCII Mode On: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII 
control characters for values 00-1F (refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart 
(Code Page 1252), page A-3).  Windows is the preferred mode.  All key-
board country codes are supported.  DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it 
does not support all keyboard country codes.  New users should use the 
Windows mode.  
Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off:  The scanner sends key combinations 
for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F (refer to the ASCII Conversion 
Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3), but it does not translate any prefix or 
suffix information.
Default = Control + ASCII Mode Off.
Numeric Keypad Mode: Sends numeric characters as if entered from a 
numeric keypad.  Default = Off.
Inter-Scan Code Delay
When your keyboard detects that any key is being pressed, released, or 
held down, the keyboard sends a packet of information known as a “scan 
code” to your computer.  This selection allows you to adjust the delay

between scan codes.  Set the length (in milliseconds) for a delay by scan-
ning the bar code below, then setting the delay (from 1-30) by scanning dig-
its from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save.  Default = 0 (800 µs). 
 Break Character
When your keyboard detects that any key is being pressed, released, or 
held down, the keyboard sends a packet of information known as a “scan 
code” to your computer.  There are two different types of scan codes: 
“make codes” and “break codes.”  A make code is sent when a key is 
pressed or held down.  A break code is sent when a key is released.  The 
following selections allow you to suppress or transmit the character 
sequence of the break code.  Default = Transmit.
Keyboard Wedge Defaults
If you want the custom keyboard wedge default settings restored to your 
scanner, scan the Keyboard Wedge Defaults bar code below.  This resets 
the scanner to the custom default settings (see Setting Custom Defaults on 
page 1-5).  If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the 
factory default settings.  Any settings that have not been specified through 
the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

RS232 Modifiers
RS232 Baud Rate
Baud Rate sends the data from the scanner to the terminal at the specified 
rate.  The host terminal must be set for the same baud rate as the scanner.

RS232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, 
and Parity
Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character.  If an 
application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, 
digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits.  For applications that require 
use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character.  Default = 8.
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2.  Default = 1.
Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity.
Default = None.

RS232 Handshaking
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner 
using software commands from the host device.    When RTS/CTS is 
turned Off, no data flow control is used.  
Flow Control, No Timeout:  The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to 
send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host.
Character-Based Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS 
when it has a character to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be 
asserted by the host
Two-Direction Flow Control:  The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for 
the host to transmit.  The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to 
transmit.
Flow Control with Timeout:  The scanner asserts RTS when it has data 
to send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 2-28) for CTS to 
be asserted by the host.  If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, 
the device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.  
Character-Based Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS 
when it has a character to send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout 
on page 2-28) for CTS to be asserted by the host.  If the delay time expires

and CTS is not asserted, the device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning 
may resume.
Default = RTS/CTS Off.
RS232 Timeout
When using Flow Control with Timeout, you must program the length of the 
delay you want to wait for CTS from the host.  Set the length (in millisec-
onds) for a timeout by scanning the bar code below, then setting the time-
out (from 1-5100 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming 
Chart, then scanning Save.  Default = 1000 ms (1 second).
XON/XOFF
Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start 
sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off).  
When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner,
