Alphanumeric Keyboard Setting
The device (reader or cradle) can be used with terminals or PCs with various keyboard types
and nationalities through a simple keyboard setting procedure.
The type of computer or terminal must be selected before activating the keyboard setting
command.
Keyboard setting consists of communicating to the device how to send data corresponding
to the keyboard used in the application. The keys must be set in a specific order.
Press and release a key to set it.
Some characters may require more than one key pressed simultaneously during normal use
(refer to the manual of your PC or terminal for keyboard use). The exact sequence must be
indicated to the reader in this case pressing and releasing the different keys.
Example:
If one has to press the "Shift" and "4" keys simultaneously on the keyboard to transmit the
character "$" to the video, to set the "$", press and release "Shift" then press and release "4".
Each pressed and released key must generate an acoustic signal on the device; otherwise
repress the key. Never press more than one key at the same time, even if this
corresponds to the normal use of your keyboard.
Press "Backspace" to correct a wrong key entry. In this case the device emits 2 beeps.
