4.20.2.3 Data Handling
Codepage
If you are encountering a scan failure because there is an unrecognized language character in the barcode,
the Codepage option may correct the problem by allowing the
ISO-8859-1 Latin 1
codepage to be used. The
default value is
Default Local ASCII
.
Data Transmission
There are two methods of data transmission between the scanner and VH10:
Wedge data
and
Paste data
. If
Wedge data
is chosen, each character that composes the barcode data is turned into a keyboard sequence
that is transmitted to the cursor location of the current application – that is, to the application, it looks like
the barcode data was typed on the keyboard. If
Paste data
is enabled, the barcode output is copied to the
system clipboard and then automatically pasted to an application. The default value is
Wedge data
.

Translations
The
Translations
menu allows you to define up to 10 cases, each consisting of up to 10 rules in sequential
order. Only one case will be applied to a barcode and a case will only be applied if all rules specified in the
case are successful — if a rule within a case fails, the entire case fails.
•
In the
Translation
menu, tap on the
Case #
to create rules.
Important: Do not change this parameter from the default setting unless you are certain that it will
correct your scan problem.
Note: Although the
Paste data
option is a faster method of data transmission, it does not support as
many characters as the
Wedge data
method.
