ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD SETTING 
The reader can be used with terminals or PCs with various keyboard types and nationalities 
through a simple keyboard setting procedure. 
 
The type of computer or terminal must be selected before activating the keyboard setting 
command. 
 
Keyboard setting consists of communicating to the reader how to send data corresponding to 
the keyboard used in the application. The keys must be set in a specific order. 
 
Press and release a key to set it. 
 
Some characters may require more than one key pressed simultaneously during normal use 
(refer to the manual of your PC or terminal for keyboard use). The exact sequence must be 
indicated to the reader in this case pressing and releasing the different keys. 
 
 
Example: 
If one has to press the "Shift" and "4" keys simultaneously on the keyboard to transmit the 
character "$" to the video, to set the "$", press and release "Shift" then press and release "4". 
 
Each pressed and released key must generate an acoustic signal on the reader, otherwise 
repress the key. Never press more than one key at the same time, even if this corresponds to 
the normal use of your keyboard. 
 
Press "Backspace" to correct a wrong key entry. In this case the reader emits 2 beeps. 
Note: "CAPS LOCK" and "NUM LOCK" must be off before starting the keyboard setting 
procedure. "SHIFT" must be repressed for each character and cannot be substituted by 
"CAPS LOCK".

Read the code above. 
Press the keys shown in the following table according to their numerical order. 
 
Some ASCII characters may be missing as this depends on the type of keyboard: these are 
generally particular characters relative to the various national symbologies. In this case: 
•  The first 4 characters (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and Backspace) can only be substituted with 
keys not used, or substituted with each other. 
•  characters can be substituted with other single symbols (e.g. "SPACE") even if not 
included in the barcode set used. 
•  characters can be substituted with others corresponding to your keyboard. 
The reader signals the end of the procedure with 2 beeps indicating the keys have been 
registered.
