Translate All - LXE MX8 Reference Manual

Barcode Tab

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.

This option is grayed unless the user has Key Message mode (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.
This is a drop down combo box that contains the control character name. Refer
to the Character drop down box for the list of control characters and their names.
When a character name is selected from the drop down box, the default text
Ignore (drop) is shown and highlighted in the Replacement edit control. Ignore
(drop) is highlighted so the user can type a replacement if the control character is
not being ignored. Once the user types any character into the Replacement edit
control, reselecting the character from the Character drop down box redisplays
the default Ignore (drop) in the Replacement edit control.
The edit control where the user types the characters to be assigned as the
replacement of the control character. Replacements for a control character are
assigned by selecting the appropriate character from the Character drop down
box, typing the replacement in the Replacement edit control (according to the
formats defined above) and then selecting Assign. The assigned replacement is
then added to the list box above the Assign button.
For example, if 'Carriage Return' is replaced by Line Feed (by specifying '^J' or
'0x0A') in the configuration, the value 0x0d received in any scanned barcode (or
defined in the prefix or suffix) will be replaced with the value 0x0a.
The Wedge then sends Ctrl+J to the receiving application, rather than Ctrl+M.
The list box shows all user-defined control characters and their assigned
replacements. All replacements are enclosed in single quotes to delimit white
space that has been assigned.
This button is grayed unless an entry in the list box is highlighted. When an entry
(or entries) is highlighted, and Delete is selected, the highlighted material is
deleted from the list box.
