Zebra DS8178 Product Reference Guide

Keyboard Wedge Interface 11 - 7
Simulated Caps Lock
Enable this to invert upper and lower case characters on the bar code as if the Caps Lock state is enabled on the
keyboard. This inversion occurs regardless of the keyboard Caps Lock state. Note that this only applies to alpha
characters.
Caps Lock Override
Enable this on AT or AT Notebook hosts to preserve the case of the data regardless of the state of the Caps Lock
key. Therefore, an ‘A’ in the bar code transmits as an ‘A’ regardless of the setting of the keyboard Caps Lock key.
NOTE Simulated Caps Lock applies to ASCII characters only.

* Disable Caps Lock On

NOTE If both Simulated Caps Lock and Caps Lock Override are enabled, Caps Lock Override takes precedence.
