Keyboard Conversion
Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lower-
case.  So if you have the following bar code: “abc569GK,” you can make the out-
put “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to 
“abc569gk” by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.  
These settings override Keyboard Style selections.  
Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for 
Automatic Caps Lock (page 2-20).  Otherwise, your output may not be as 
expected.  
Default = Keyboard Conversion Off
. 
Control Character Output
This selection sends a text string instead of a control character.  For example, 
when the control character for a carriage return is expected, the output would 
display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D.  Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart 
(Code Page 1252) on page A-4.  Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the 
first column of the chart). 
Note: Control + X (Control + ASCII) Mode overrides this mode.  
Default = Off.
