Programming the Scanner

Function TX (Transmit)

When this menu selection is enabled, and function codes are contained

within the scanned data, the SCANTEAM 2380 transmits the key code to

the terminal which corresponds to the decoded ASCII function code.

ASCII function codes are represented by the HEX values (00–1F).

When the Function Code Transmit selection is disabled, the scanner does

not transmit the key codes which correspond to the HEX characters 01–1F

unless they are in preambles or postambles. Instead, the characters 01–1F

are stripped from the bar code data. Any keyboard function codes within

data in the preamble and postamble will be sent to the terminal regardless

of the parameter. Function codes in preambles and postambles are

automatically translated to key codes.

Note: Care should be taken not to embed keyboard function codes that will

cause an input inhibit condition within records, preambles, and

postambles. Attempts to embed function codes may result in loss of

data.

Example – Keyboard Function Codes (Commercial Application):

The SCANTEAM 2380 is connected to an IBM PC; Keyboard Function

Codes within scanned data and the Preamble and Postamble on the COMM

1 section of the Programming Menu.

The SCANTEAM 2380 is programmed as follows:

Preamble: GS (1D)==>F10 key

Postamble: CR (OD)==>ENTER key

Full ASCII Code 3 of 9 Decoding: enabled

Note: When programming preambles and postambles you must scan a

symbology before scanning in a scan code.

Consider the case of a Code 3 of 9 bar code symbol:

1 2 3 4 “HT” 5 6 7 8

The function emulated depends not only upon the Keyboard Function

Code, but also upon the terminal being used with the SCANTEAM 2380.

Appendix C lists, by terminal type, the key function emulated by each

Keyboard Function Code. (The codes in the center column change.)

1 2 ... 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 ... 67 68
