3. Selecting Programming Modes
Programming mode is selectable for each individual key. Click on Key Edit menu or the
icon on the toolbar to select the desired mode.
Scan Code Mode
Key definition entered as Scan Codes (codes that are sent by a standard
keyboard to the PC)
Allow entry of special key functions (e.g. F1 to F12, Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Arrows
Keys, Windows Keys, Caps Lock, NumLock, Number pad keys, etc.)
Emulate exact key operation sequences.
Upper/Lower case status depends on Caps Lock and Shift key status.
ASCII Code Mode
• Key definition entered as ASCII string of characters.
• Simplify programming for entry of text string in the key definition (e.g. for
entering login names, passwords, item names etc.) Note that if the text
string is case sensitive, it is better to enable the “Use <Alt>+number key
to make ASCII code” option in the Configuration→Config KB
Properties menu.

• Send out ASCII codes in RS232 mode (optional interface). Note that keys
programmed with Scan Code mode will send out Scan Codes via the
RS232 port. If actual ASCII codes are required, all keys have to be
programmed in ASCII mode. In this case, special function keys cannot be
programmed.

token names.
