Enable/Disable Code 39 Full ASCII

To enable or disable Code 39 Full ASCII, scan the appropriate
bar code below.
When enabled, the ASCII character set assigns a code to letters,
punctuation marks, numerals, and most control keystrokes on
the keyboard.
The first 32 codes are non-printable and are assigned to
keyboard control characters such as BACKSPACE and
RETURN. The other 96 are called printable codes because all
but SPACE and DELETE produce visible characters.
Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special character ($
+ % /) preceding a Code 39 character and assigns an ASCII
character value to the pair. For example, when Code 39 Full
ASCII is enabled and a +B is scanned, it is interpreted as b, %J
as ?, and $H emulates the keystroke BACKSPACE. Scanning
ABC$M outputs the keystroke equivalent of ABC ENTER.
Refer to Table A-4 in Appendix A.
The scanner does not autodiscriminate between Code 39 and
Code 39 Full ASCII.
