This chart corresponds to the small center section of keys between the main
letter keys and the numeric keypad on the right of the keyboard. If you are
using MAC AND USB, in order to emulate the arrow keys, you MUST USE
THE COMMANDS AS SHOWN ABOVE. You can scan them from the
FULL ASCII MENU, for example, to emulate the "Left Arrow" key on the Mac
(USB) scan the "NUL" (which represents "$U") bar code and then the "4" bar
code from the menu.
Ctrl C
ASCII 250
F11
Special key sequences for USB
If you are using the TriCoder attached to a USB port, you can emulate the
"Windows" key on a PC or the "Command" key on a Mac by encoding ON (key
pressed) and OFF (key released) sequences. %UC is ON, %UD is OFF.
Older TriCoders (pre-06/99) can emulate the same key sequences by
programming "make" and "break" hex scan codes in the Preamble or
Postamble (NON PORTABLE mode only).
where E01F is the "make" code for "Windows key " ON or "Command key"
ON, N is any keystroke, and E0F01F is the "break" code for "Windows
key" OFF or "Command key" OFF. You must use the right ´ and left `
apostrophes exactly as shown in the code above.

The SHIFT, CTRL, & ALT (Command and Option for
MAC) keys must use ON (key pressed) and OFF (key
released) bar codes to properly emulate keyboard functions.
For example, to encode a bar code sequence for Ctrl-C, you
would create a bar code of Ctrl ON, C, and Ctrl OFF.
You can also enter any value from ASCII 000 to 255. For
example, to enter ASCII 250, encode Alt On, Down
Arrow (number 2 on number pad), LF (for the unmarked
5 on number pad), Insert (number pad for 0) & Alt OFF.
F11and F12 are created by encoding NULLF1 and
NULLF2 as bar codes. Using the table on the previous
page, the coding sequence for F11 would be %U$A and
F12 would be %U$B
