2.2.2 WORKING MODE
Toggle
In this mode, only one reader can work at a time: either RFID or barcode reader.
Control Options Working with the Switch Key
Always Enabled The RFID reader is enabled after login; however, it will not work
until you press the switch key.
To stop it from working, press the switch key again.
By ESC Command The RFID reader is disabled after login. It will not work until you
send the ESC command to activate it and then press the switch key.
 The escape sequence for VT emulation is ESC[3;1].
To stop it from working, press the switch key again.
Hybrid (=dual mode)
By default, the RFID reader is always enabled and co-exists with the barcode reader, which is also
called “dual mode” because both readers can work at the same time.
2.2.3 CONTROL
If Toggle is selected, you must select a switch key from the drop-down menu.
Always Enable
By default, the RFID reader is always enabled after login.
By ESC Command
If selected, the RFID reader is disabled after login. You must send the ESC command to enable it.
Switch Key
The switch key works as the toggle of readers. When you press it on the mobile computer, only
one reader is allowed to work at a time.
 By default, the switch key is disabled.
 Select the switch key (FN+0 ~ FN+9). The selected combination will become unavailable on
the Function Key Mapping list. For example, if you select FN+5, you will find the key
combination mapped to “SwitchKey” in the Function Key Mapping on the Emulation tab.
Note: For VT emulation, you may send an escape sequence from a host to get device
type, serial number, or control the hardware features of the mobile computer.
