Sending Data to the Host

250

Auto-Forward Tab

The Auto-Forward Tab on a good bar code scan is used for unprotected
(input) fields to allow keystroke operations to be emulated upon the detec-
tion of a good scan. The Auto-Forward Tab will automatically advance to
the next input field after processing bar code data.
For asynchronous communications, initiate this feature by inserting a "%"
character in the first byte of an unprotected (input) field after the attribute
byte of a SF order (/Fa%).

Auto Enter

The Auto Enter feature is also used for unprotected input fields to allow
emulation of keystroke operations when a good scan is detected. Auto En-
ter on a good bar code scan will automatically emulate the pressing of the
[Enter] key after processing bar code data. This sends the data to the host
system.
For asynchronous communications, initiate this feature by inserting an
"&" character in the first byte of an unprotected input field after the
attribute byte of a SF order (/Fa&).
Data is returned to the host computer when the operator presses the [En-
ter] key on the terminal's keyboard. When this happens, the station trans-
mits all modified data fields back to the host computer. Data is returned to
the host computer in the following format:
<AID> <cursor address> <SBA> <attribute> <address +1> <data> <SBA>
<attribute> <address +1> <alphanumeric data>
