Almost every key on your keyboard—including nonprinting keys, such as

The tables in this appendix list ASCII values, "mnemonic" values, and
Code 39 equivalents for programming all keyboard keys.
Some of the values listed in the ASCII column of the tables (for example, 03
for Lock) are not really ASCII values. They are, however, the values you
Caps
should use for programming the keys.
Full ASCII mode for Code 39 must be enabled in the decoder for batch
programming.
Be sure to include the parentheses when you enter mnemonics.
Use the ASCII values whenever you program your decoder with the menu
method. For example, to turn on the
9) through menu programming, you would scan the bar codes for 0
and 3.
Use the Code 39 values to create bar codes for batch programming or to
include lowercase or nonalphanumeric characters in a bar code. For exam-
ple, to include an exclamation mark (!) in a bar code, you would encode it
as /A (slash capital a).
Use mnemonics for on-screen and serial batch programming. For example,
to encode the key, you would type (CR).
Enter
Some keys act immediately when read into the decoder. For example, the
decoder transmits the page-down command to the computer as soon as it
reads a bar code containing the characters %U$Z.
