B - 2 DS8178 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
USB, BT HID, and Keyboard Wedge Country Keyboard Types (Country
Codes)
Scan the bar code corresponding to the keyboard type. For a USB host, this setting applies only to the USB
Keyboard (HID) device. If the keyboard type is not listed, see Emulate Keypad on page 7-8 for the USB HID host.
For a keyboard wedge host, see Alternate Numeric Keypad Emulation on page 11-6.
NOTE When changing USB country keyboard types the digital scanner automatically resets and issues the
standard startup beep sequences.
NOTE For best results when using international keyboards, enable Quick Keypad Emulation on page 7-9.
IMPORTANT 1. Some country keyboard bar code types are specific to certain Windows Operating Systems
(i.e., XP, and Win 7 or higher). Bar codes requiring a specific Windows OS are noted so in their
bar code captions.
2. Use the French International bar code for Belgian French keyboards.
