Control characters transmission
Control Characters On transmits ASCII characters for decimal numbers 1 to 27 with the
sequence <Ctrl> character .
Control Characters Off transmits the following characters directly as single keyboard
characters—useful for applications that already use the control sequences as co mmands:
ASCII character 8 transmitted as <Backspace> instead of <Ctrl> H
ASCII character 9 transmitted as <Tab> instead of <Ctrl> I
ASCII character 27 transmitted as <Escape> instead of <Ctrl> [
Control Characters On (*)
Example
xxx <Tab> xx (Code 128) is transmitted as:
Alt mode transmission
Alt Mode On emulates the
keyboards and can be used to transmit ASCII characters that are not available on the
keyboard corresponding to your interface number.
If you read bar codes containing such characters, you will be able to transmit the characters
if you select Alt Mode On. Only use Alt mode if necessary, as all characters will be
transmitted as <Alt> sequences and transmission will be slightly slower.
