Emulate ALT+Keypad
This feature allows any ASCII character (0x00 - 0xFF) to be sent over the numeric keypad no matter
which keyboard type is selected. Since sending a character involves multiple keystroke emulations, this
method appears less efficient.
The following options are available:

Disable: No ASCII character is sent in the ALT+Keypad way.

Mode 1: ASCII characters not supported by the selected keyboard type but falling into 0x20~0xFF
are sent in the ALT+Keypad way.

Mode 2: ASCII characters falling into 0x20~0xFF are sent in the ALT+Keypad way.

Mode 3: ASCII characters falling into 0x00~0xFF are sent in the ALT+Keypad way.
Note: In the event of a conflict between Function Key Mapping and Mode 3 , Function Key Mapping
shall govern.
Disable (default) Mode 1
Mode 2 Mode 3
Example: Supposing US
keyboard is selected, barcode data ”AÐF” (65/208/70) is sent as below:
(1) Mode 1 is enabled:
“A” -- Keystroke “A”
“Д -- “ALT Make” + “208” + “ALT Break”
“F” -- Keystroke “F”
(2) Mode 3 is enabled:
“A” – “ALT Make” + “065” + “ALT Break”
“Д -- “ALT Make” + “208” + “ALT Break”
