Translate All - Honeywell MX9 Reference Manual

Translate All

When Translate All is checked, unprintable ASCII characters (characters below 20H) in scanned bar codes are assigned to
their appropriate CTRL code sequence when the bar codes 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 bar code 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 bar code are translated to their
equivalent 'control' key keystroke sequence (13 [0x0d] is translated to Control+M keystrokes as if the user
Translate All
pressed the CTRL, SHIFT, and m keys on the keypad). Additionally, when Translate All is disabled, any con-
trol 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 char-
acter. Replacements for a control character are assigned by selecting the appropriate character from the Char-
acter 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
Replacement 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 bar code (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,
Delete
and Delete is selected, the highlighted material is deleted from the list box.
