Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common to
U.S. keyboards).
Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off. The
software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off. This selection can only
be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock status (AT
keyboards).
The Autocaps via NumLock barcode should be scanned in countries (e.g.,
Germany, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock.
The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but uses the
NumLock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.
Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external
keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).
Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard barcode, you must power cycle your
computer.
Keyboard Conversion
Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase.
So if you have the following barcode: “abc569GK,” you can make the output
“ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to “abc569gk”
by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.
These settings override Keyboard Style selections.
Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for Automatic Caps
Lock (page 28). Otherwise, your output may not be as expected.
