Clock period: According to the PS2 protocol, the clock is provided by the device, e.g. keyboard or
scanner, with the period between 60us to 100us.

would require a free time gap following the press/release of the compound key (Shift, Ctrl or Alt).

Alphabetic key- the scanner will output code result as alphabetic key.

*
’ only).
Alt+ keypad- the scanner will output code result as pressing Alt+ numeric key (on keypad). Note that
the Num Lock control key must be ON. This setting can be specially adapted for use with different

Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.
Inter-byte delay: This delay is inserted after each byte transmitted. Normally a character is comprised
of three or above bytes.
Block trans. delay: It is a delay timer between barcode data output. This feature is used to transfer
continually with shorter barcode data.
Caps Lock status: By selecting
Caps Lock “ON”
or
Caps Lock “OFF”
, the scanner will output data string
based on the information on the Caps Lock status.
