Intermec 6100 Reference Guide

R

The states of the keys are defined as follows:
Pressing Caps Lock shifts alphabetical keys.  All other keys defined to return

normal values return the normal value indicated in the chart.  Pressing a shift

key while in the Caps Lock state causes alphabetical keys to return nonshifted

values.  All other keys defined to return shifted values return their shifted value.

Pressing Caps lock a second time reverses the action.
Pressing Scroll Lock by itself causes no action other than the recording of the

state in the shift flags.  Applications must query the state of the flag to take adĆ

vantage of Scroll Lock.
Pressing Num Lock causes the numeric keypad keys to return numeric values.

Pressing a shift key while in the Num Lock state causes these same keys to reĆ

turn the normal values listed in the chart.  Pressing Num Lock a second time reĆ

verses the action.
Holding the Alt down in combination with the numeric keypad keys lets you enĆ

ter any ASCII code from 0 to 255 into the system.  Register AH returns zero and

register AL returns the entered code when the Alt key is released.  If more than

three digits are entered, the value returned is moduleĆ256.
Combination of Alt, Ctrl, and shift key presses are given the following priority:

Alt, Ctrl, Shift.  The only valid combination is CtrlĆAlt used for system reset.
Duplicate keys on the 101Ćstyle keyboard return the same 2Ćbyte character code

as their equivalent 83/84Ćstyle keyboard value.  These duplicates states are reĆ

corded in the shift flags.  Applications must query the shift flags to distinguish

these duplicate keys.

When a 101Ćstyle keyboard is used:

"

Return all standard 83/84 style keyboard character codes, as is.

"

Mask duplicate keys to the same 2Ćbyte code as 83/84 style counterparts.

"

Kill any character codes not compatible with the 83/84 key keyboard.
