Resolution / Answer
This article introduces the purpose and configuration method of "Control Character Output". Usually refer to this article when you need to change the default behavior of the device, adapt to the business system, or find the corresponding configuration barcode.
ASCII characters between 0x00~0x1F can be escaped into a control function key. The input operation of control function keys in the virtual keyboard is as follows. The specific correspondence between ASCII values and control function keys is shown in the attached table on the next page. Default: off.
**[Close]
Scan the following barcode to configure **[Close].
[Control + ASCII mode]
Scan the following barcode to configure [Control + ASCII mode].
[Alt + Keypad mode]
Scan the following barcode to configure [Alt + Keypad mode].
When other HID Keyboard-related settings of the scanner are set to default values, and this setting is set to control character output in "Control + ASCII mode", the read data is the character "A <HT>F (HT is an invisible character, not displayed on the terminal software)" (hexadecimal values are 0x41/0x09/0x46 respectively). The scanner virtual keyboard operates as follows:
Enter "A" -- press key A
Enter "Ctrl I" -- Since the data of 0x09 corresponds to the control function key "I", the virtual keyboard will hold down the Ctrl key, then press the I key, and finally release the Ctrl key and the I key at the same time
Enter "F" -- press key F
Since "Ctrl I" corresponds to the function of converting characters into italics in some word processing software, you may see the normal character "A" and the italic "F" after completing the above operation.
If this setting is set to "Alt + Keypad mode", the virtual keyboard operation for the "<HT>" character scanner is as follows:
Enter "Alt 0 0 9" -- the virtual keyboard will hold down Alt, then press "0", "0" and "9" on the numeric keyboard, and finally release Alt
