Emulate Numeric Keypad
When this feature is disabled, sending barcode data is emulated as keystroke(s) on main keyboard.
To enable this feature, scan the Emulate Numeric Keypad barcode. Sending a number (0-9) is emulated
as keystroke(s) on numeric keypad, whereas sending other character like
“+”, “_”, “*” , “/” and “.” is still
emulated as keystrokes on main keyboard.
Numeric keypad is usually situated at the right of the main keyboard. The state of Num Lock on the
simulated numeric keypad is determined by its equivalent on the Host. If Num Lock on the Host is turned
off, the output of simulated numeric keypad is function key instead of number.
Emulate Numeric Keypad ** Do Not Emulate Numeric Keypad
Note: Make sure the Num Lock light of the Host is turned ON before enabling this feature.
Simulate ALT+Keypad ON prevails over Emulate Numeric Keypad .
Example: Supposing the Emulate Numeric Keypad feature is enabled:
if Num Lock on the Host is ON,
“A4.5” is transmitted as “A4.5”;
if Num Lock on the Host is OFF,
“A4.5” is transmitted as follows:
1.
“A” is sent as is because it is not included in numeric keypad;
2.
“4” is sent as the function key “Cursor Move to Left”;
3.
“.” is sent as the function key “Delete after the Cursor”;
4.
“5” is not sent as it does not correspond to any function key.
