FNC1 Symbol Character. Transmit 
When this function is enabled and the FNC1 is contained in the scanned data, the scanner transmits the 
FNC1 to the host. When the scanner interface is set to keyboard, the scanned code is converted to 
corresponding key function before it is transmitted. 
The function of “Caps Lock Control” and “Key Pad Emulation” are only available for IBM PC/AT, PS/VP, PS/2 
series personal computers and compatible machines. While selecting the other host interfaces, these 
selections don’t perform the above functions.
