read. Finally, the “Validate” label must be read to complete the setting. The
scanner will respond with two beeps when the “Validate” label is read.
8.4.1 Numeric Parameters
The configuration procedures for numeric parameters are shown below.
Parameter Label
Decimal Label
"Validate" Label
For example, to configure the Inter-Character Delay to be 15 ms, the “Inter-
Character Delay” label is first read, and then the decimal digit labels “1” and “5”,
and finally, the “Validate” label to complete the setting.
8.4.2 Character String Parameters
Basically, each character programmed for the character string parameters is
represented by two hexadecimal digits. The two hexadecimal digits usually
comprise a value that is the ASCII code equivalence of the character being
programmed.
Beside the two hexadecimal digits, there is an optional key type/status can also be
specified for each character of the string parameters. This optional key type/status
can only be specified for some particular parameters when keyboard interface
is
used. These parameters are: Prefix Code, Postfix Code, Code ID, and Additional
Fields of Editing Formats.
The available key type/status settings can be selected will be described briefly. The
configuration procedures for character string parameters are shown below.

Two Hexadecimal Labels
"Validate" Label
For example, to configure the Prefix Code to be “AB”, the “Prefix Code” label is
first read, and then the hexadecimal digit labels “4”, “1”, “4”, and “2” are read, and
finally, the “Validate” label to complete the setting.
8.4.3 Key Type/Status Setting
The key type/status is specified in character basis. Each character programmed is
by default of Normal key type. A character of normal key type can have associate
status settings (add Shift/Control/Alternate).
Whereas a character of Scan Code type may not have any associate key status
settings.
• Normal Key Type: When this label is read, the scanner will assume the
following hexadecimal digits are the ASCII code of the character being
programmed. And it will also clear all the associate key status settings made
to the current character.
• Scan Code: When this label is read, the scanner will assume the following
hexadecimal digits are the scan code value of the character being
programmed.
• Add Shift: The Shift key will be sent together with the character
programmed.
• Add Control (L): The left Control key will be sent together with the
character programmed.
• Add Alternate (L): The left Alternate key will be sent together with the
character programmed.
