Automatic Caps Lock
is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off.
The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off (AT and PS/2
only). This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED, which
notes the Caps Lock status.
Autocaps via NumLock
bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Ger-
many, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock.
The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Auotcaps, but uses the Num-
Lock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.
Emulate External Keyboard
should be scanned if you do not have an external
keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).
Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power
cycle your computer.
Keyboard Modifiers
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes.
Control + X (Control + ASCII) Mode On:
The scanner sends key combina-
tions for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F. Windows is the preferred
mode. All keyboard country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy
mode, and it does not support all keyboard country codes. New users should
use the Windows mode. Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page 7-1
for CTRL+ X Values.
Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The scanner sends key combinations for
ASCII control characters for values 00-1F (refer to the ASCII chart for Non-
Printable Characters on page A-2), but it does not transmit any prefix or suffix
information.
