5.5 Setting Up the Keyboard Emulation
5.5.1 Table of Scan Codes
This tab folder enables you to change the scan codes of the keyboard emulation, which are sent to the
host for a specific character. The default setup of the device already contains the mainly used
characters ‘0’ – ‘9’, ‘A’ – ‘F’ and the carriage return. This enable the reader to send any hex number
and an ENTER to the host computer.
There are some reasons, why you may want to change the existing setup:
• You need a setup for a specific country, where the key layout of a keyboard is different from
the default one.
• You need some additional keys in order to achieve your specific format to be sent to the host.
This might be an additional space or a tab instead of return.
