Control characters can be replaced with user-defined text which can include hat
encoded or hex encoded values.
In key message mode, control characters can also be translated to their control code
equivalent key sequences.
Translate All
When Translate All is checked, unprintable ASCII characters (characters below 20H) in
scanned bar codes are assigned to their appropriate CTRL code sequence when the bar
codes are sent in Character mode.
The wedge provides a one-to-one mapping of control characters to their equivalent
character sequence of keystrokes. If control characters are translated, the
translation is performed on the bar code data, prefix, and suffix before the keystrokes
are simulated.
Parameters
Translate All
This option is grayed unless the user has Send Key Messages (WEDGE) on the Main tab
selected.
In Key Message mode, when this option is enabled, control characters embedded in a
scanned bar code are translated to their equivalent control key keystroke sequence (13
[0x0d] is translated to M keystrokes as if the user pressed the CTRL, SHIFT, and
m keys on the keypad).
Additionally, when Translate All is disabled, any control code which has a keystroke
equivalent (enter, tab, escape, backspace, etc.) is output as a keystroke.
Any control code without a keystroke equivalent is dropped.
Character
This is a drop down combo box that contains the control character name. Refer to the
Character drop down box for the list of control characters and their names.
When a character name is selected from the drop down box, the default text Ignore
(drop) is shown and highlighted in the Replacement edit control. Ignore (drop) is high-
lighted so the user can type a replacement if the control character is not to be ignored.
