The Keyboard Lockout Mode command sets and resets the Keyboard Lockout Mode. This allows
the host to block input from the keyboard.
When the Keyboard Lockout Mode is set, keyboard entries are ignored by the TCS (the keyboard
is locked). Setting the Keyboard Lockout Mode also precludes access to the Setup Screen
through the Set Up key on the keyboard. When the Keyboard Lockout Mode is reset, input is
allowed from the keyboard (the keyboard is unlocked).
When the keyboard is locked, the user can call up the Setup Screen only if the user has access to
the SET UP button. Once the Setup Screen is activated, the keyboard is temporarily unlocked so
that the user can use it to change parameters in the Setup Screen. Once the Setup Screen is exited
or the Communication Monitor is entered, the keyboard is again locked to all user input.

If the host sets the Keyboard Lockout Mode while the user is keying in a sequence, the sequence
is interrupted. To avoid this, it is recommended that the host follow the Keyboard Lockout Mode
command by a Clear User Inputs command to ensure that no partial user input strings are left
waiting to be reported to the host.
