    Wand, CCD, or Laser scanners are supported. An open slot at the upper-left corner of the keyboard can support a standard dual track magnetic card reader. Alternatively, this open slot can be configured to support a single track magnetic reader, triple track magnetic reader, or a bar code slot reader.

    * Flash Mode: The Keyboard triggers the scanner to scan periodically - providing a trigger-less scanning method. The scanner will strobe on and off until a label is detected. Note – this feature may not work properly with older laser scanners.
  • Page 7: Setup

    For some applications, an intercharacter delay is necessary in order for a system to keep pace with data transmitted from the Keyboard. If incomplete data is sent from the Keyboard, increasing the value of this parameter may correct the problem.

    “Upper/Lower Case” and “Language” selections. 2.5. Code ID The keyboard can add code IDs to data strings via the following pre-defined IDs for bar code and magnetic stripe card readers. These IDs can be modified via bar code setup.
  • Page 9: Scanning Mode

    When the trigger is pressed, the keyboard will power up the CCD or laser scanner to read the bar code. If the bar code is decoded, the Keyboard will turn off the scanner and upload the data. The Keyboard will turn off the scanner if the label cannot be read within approximately 3 seconds.

Qualifier There are three conditional fields in the Qualifier: Input ID, Length and Match Input ID Format: IN_ID,ID1, ... ,IDi, Input ID is required and the original data record must correspond to Input ID of a formula in order to be processed.
  • Page 19 maximum length (Max). When defined, a formula will be performed if the length of the original data falls between MIN and MAX. When missing, the following fields of current Formula are always processed. Example: LEN,9,48, means the length of original data must be within 9 and 48. Match Format: MATCH, P0 ,"C0"...

'a', 'b' and 'c' in the string can be any character. A-String defines a string of characters to be added to the output. For example, if the original data is: and the output string is BarCoDe...

IN_ID,0,LEN,2,2,MATCH,1,"AA","ABC company",Enter IN_ID,19,O-STR,1,#,Enter Example 2 If the original data is Code 128 and is logically divided into: -- First six characters are personal ID, -- Other characters are person's name.
  • Page 22 -- From the position next to 'i', search for k. -- If above searches are all found, the result of the parameter will be the position where 'k' is located. If N is a string, the position evaluation of N is the same as P except that the searching position starts from P+1.
