Ctrl Char Mapping

Ctrl Char Mapping
The Ctrl Char Mapping button (Control Character Mapping) activates a dialog to define the operations the Data Collection
Wedge performs on control characters (values less than 0x20) embedded in barcodes.
Control characters can be replaced with user-defined text which can include hat encoded or hex encoded values.
In key message mode, control characters can also be translated to their control code equivalent key sequences.

Translate All

When Translate All is checked, unprintable ASCII characters (characters below 20H) in scanned barcodes are assigned to
their appropriate CTRL code sequence when the barcodes are sent in Character mode.
The wedge provides a one-to-one mapping of control characters to their equivalent control+character sequence of keystrokes.
If control characters are translated, the translation is performed on the barcode data, prefix, and suffix before the keystrokes
are simulated.

Parameters

Translate All
This option is grayed unless the user has Send Key Messages (WEDGE) on the Main tab selected.
In Key Message mode, when this option is enabled, control characters embedded in a scanned barcode are translated to their
equivalent control key keystroke sequence (13 [0x0d] is translated to Control+M keystrokes as if the user pressed the CTRL,
SHIFT, and m keys on the keypad).
Additionally, when Translate All is disabled, any control code which has a keystroke equivalent (enter, tab, escape,
backspace, etc.) is output as a keystroke.
Any control code without a keystroke equivalent is dropped.
