Function
Code
The scanner can emulate function and other special keys on the keyboard by 
scanning some pre-defined labels. Appendix B includes those labels for 
special keys on PC, Macintosh, and IBM terminals. As an option, you may also 
print these labels by printing their corresponding Code 39 characters (in 
brackets) to work with scanner. 
Caps
-
Lock 
This parameter tells the scanner the current Caps-Lock status of the keyboard 
so that the character transmitted by the scanner is in correct case. 
   Auto Trace (For PC AT/XT only): 
In Auto Trace mode, the scanner will keep track of the Caps-Lock status 
automatically. For some PCs, the scanning performance may he 
compromised because of the auto tracing. If the scanning performance is 
poor (or can not scan), or the scanner cannot output the upper/lower case 
characters correctly, try to select one of the next two choices instead of 
auto tracing. 
   Lower Case: 
When the keyboard is in the unshifted state (Cap Lock is not pressed), 
select "Lower Case". 
   Upper Case: 
When keyboard has the CapLock key on, select "Upper Case". 
Alt Key Mode 
"ALT Key Mode" is a choice in the language selection. Sending characters by 
ALT key plus keys on the numeric keypad is a feature in MS-DOS. When 
selecting "ALT Key Mode", the scanner sends out the native ASCII 
combination codes to represent each character of the bar code scanned. If 
your system accepts ALT key sending, you can enable this mode and ignore 
selections of the "Upper/Lower Case" and "Language". 
You may find these settings on the Appendix D page D2 and D3.
