Keyboard Wedge
Your Unitech keyboard contains a built-in data decoder or “wedge”
that translates raw bar code or magnetic stripe input into Keyboard
Scan Code, with the result that scanner data, magnetic stripe data,
and keyboard data exit the keyboard as if you had typed the text.
The four keyboard wedge parameters are listed below.
Caps-Lock
The Caps Lock function determines how the Caps Lock key controls
the case of alphabetical characters. The three options below are
available:
•
Auto Trace
automatically determines the Caps Lock key status
and informs the decoder accordingly.
Lower Case
manually coordinates the physical state of the Caps
Lock key with the Caps Lock state of the decoder. For example,
if the Caps Lock LED is not lit, then “Lower Case” should be
selected.
•
Upper Case
is the same as Lower Case (above) except that it
applies to the upper case state. If the Caps Lock LED is lit, then
“Upper Case” should be selected.
•
Default is “Auto Trace”.
Function Code
Function Code determines how function code characters from the
scanner or magnetic stripe reader are output.
If
Yes
is selected, then scanned function codes will output the
same as if their corresponding function keys were pressed.
Scanning an F1 label will pop-up a “Help” box, F3 a “Find” pop-up
box, etc.
•
•
If
No
is selected, the scanned function codes will output special
character strings defined by Unitech for non-print character
output.
Default is “Yes”.
