Interface F1
Transmit Speed, 0=Fastest: 0
The Transmit speed option is used to control the speed at which bar code data is sent to the computer. In some instances the
reader may overrun the computer if this setting is too fast, or if the computer is busy performing some lengthy operation. This
option ranges from 0 to 99, with 0 being the fastest and 99 being the slowest.
Keyboard Country: UNITED STATES
The Keyboard Country option is used to inform the Slot reader of the keyboard country that should be used when transmitting bar
code data. The reader supports 26 different settings (PC compatible layout) for the Keyboard Country, ranging from "Belgium" to
"Universal". It is important to note that changing this setting and not changing your computer to the same setting will result in
garbled or lost characters. The settings for this option are as follows:
BELGIUM GERMANY SLOVENIA
BRAZIL HUNGARY SPAIN
CANADIAN-FRENCH ITALY SWEDEN
CROATIA LATIN AMERICA SWITZERLAND
(FRENCH)
CZECHOSLOVAKIA (CZECH) NETHERLANDS SWITZERLAND
(GERMAN)
CZECHOSLOVAKIA (SLOVAK) NORWAY UNITED KINGDOM
DENMARK POLAND UNIVERSAL
FINLAND PORTUGAL UNITED STATES
FRANCE SERBIA/YUGOSLAVIA
Note: If you set the Keyboard Country to BELGIUM, FRENCH, or GERMANY, then numeric data is sent faster by setting the
Send Numerics As: option to NUMERIC KEYPAD KEYS.
The UNIVERSAL Keyboard Country is not actually a country setting. In this mode, the reader sends most data to the computer as
a series of ALT keypad sequences. For example, to transmit an "A" to the computer, the reader performs the ALT 065 key
sequence on the numeric keypad. It is important to note that this method of communication may not work with your computer
hardware and software. It is possible that no data will appear on your computer if you set the Slot reader to output in this mode. If
this is the case, you will have to reenter the setup mode and press F1, ALT F10 and CTRL ESC. This will reset the Interface
category and reset the Keyboard Country back to the UNITED STATES default setting.
Note: In order for the Keyboard Country changes to take effect, you must exit the setup mode and save changes.
CTRL/Special Char Delay (milliseconds): 50
The CTRL/Special Char Delay is the amount of time the Slot reader will delay after sending a special character or a CTRL key
sequence before sending the next character of data. This option ranges from 0 to 255 milliseconds. The characters that are
affected by this option are those that are non-printable. For a complete list of the characters, refer to Appendix-B, Special
Characters Table. This feature is used to prevent overrunning the keyboard buffer when sending function keys and other non-data
characters.
