Enable/Disable Code 39 Full ASCII
To enable or disable Code 39 Full ASCII, scan the
appropriate bar code below.
When enabled, the ASCII character set assigns a code
to letters, punctuation marks, numerals, and most
control keystrokes on the keyboard.
The first 32 codes are non-printable and are assigned to
keyboard control characters such as BACKSPACE and
RETURN. The other 96 are called printable codes
because all but SPACE and DELETE produce visible
characters.
Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special
character ($ + % /) preceding a Code 39 character and
assigns an ASCII character value to the pair. For
example, when Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled and a
+B
is scanned, it is interpreted as b , %J as ? , and $H
emulates the keystroke BACKSPACE . Scanning
ABC$M outputs the keystroke equivalent of ABC
ENTER . Refer to Table A-4 in Appendix A .
The scanner does not autodiscriminate between Code
39 and Code 39 Full ASCII.
