Enable/Disable Code 39 Full ASCII
Parameter # 11h
To enable or disable Code 39 Full ASCII, scan the appropriate bar code below.
When enabled, the ASCII character set assigns a code to letters, punctuation marks,
numerals, and most control keystrokes on the keyboard.
The first 32 codes are non-printable and are assigned to keyboard control characters such
as BACKSPACE and RETURN. The other 96 are called printable codes because all but
SPACE and DELETE produce visible characters.
Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special character ($ + % /) preceding a Code 39
character and assigns an ASCII character value to the pair. For example, when Code 39
Full ASCII is enabled and a +B is scanned, it is interpreted as b, %J as ?, and $H emulates
the keystroke BACKSPACE. Scanning ABC$M outputs the keystroke equivalent of ABC
ENTER.
Do not enable Code 39 Full ASCII and Trioptic Code 39 simultaneously.
The scanner does not autodiscriminate between Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII.
