6.2.5  Scancode Remapping

A scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. Every 
key has a unique scancode that is mapped to a virtual key, a function, or a macro. 
Scancode Remapping allows you to change the functionality of any key on the 
keyboard. A key can be remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents the 
‘F’ key; VK_RETURN represents the <ENTER/ON> key, etc.), perform a function 
(e.g. turn the scanner on, change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.

There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the Blue 
table and the Orange table. The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the 
Blue table defines key presses that occur when the <BLUE> modifier is on; the 
Orange table defines key presses that occur when the <ORANGE> modifier is on. 
The default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three 
tables using the Scancode Remapping tab accessed from the Keyboard Properties 
dialog box.

Figure 6.8 Scancode Remapping

The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the Scancodes in 
hexidecimal. If the scancode is remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is 
displayed in the next column labelled ‘V-Key’. A virtual key that is ‘Shifted’ or 
‘Unshifted’ is displayed in the third column labelled ‘Function’. 

If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns 
remain blank while the third column contains the function name or macro key 
number (e.g., Macro 2).
