Function
The BarkeySuffix parameter value is the character that the RF computer will interpret as the suffix
of a barcode symbol that contains an F-key.
of a barcode symbol that contains an F-key.
When BarkeySuffix is zero (0), the scanned F-Keys feature is disabled. Entering any decimal
value of an ASCII character in both BarkeyPrefix and BarkeySuffix, other than a zero, will enable
this feature.

In some applications, an RF computer operator may want to respond to the current screen by
entering one of the front-panel Function Keys. This often occurs when the operator wants to make
a menu selection or to revert to a previous screen. But in many materials-handling operations,
where the operator is hand-picking an item or handling a laser scanner, pressing any key on the
Computer keypad can be a difficult task. The LXE RF computer can be configured to interpret
scanned barcode labels as equivalent Function Key keypresses. The computer interprets the scan
as if it were a “manually-entered” Function key.

Barcode labels that are used in this manner must always be 5 characters in length. The proper
format is:
format is:
BarkeyPrefix : F : n : n : BarkeySuffix .
For example, if the BarkeyPrefix field contained an ‘X’, and the BarkeySuffix field contained a
‘Y’ character, the RF computer would recognize a barcode scan of “XF02Y” as an F2 keypress.
When such a label is scanned, the RF computer will send an F02 signal to the Host computer.

Note:
Set BCBraceInhibit to Yes to inhibit braces { } around the Barkey.
Note:
BarkeySuffix should not be disabled when BarkeyPrefix is enabled.
