HID Ignore Unknown Characters
This option applies only to the HID Keyboard Emulation device and IBM device. Unknown characters are
characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, all bar
code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With
Unknown Characters is selected, bar code data is sent up to the first unknown character, then the digital scanner
issues an error beep.
Emulate Keypad
When enabled, all characters are sent as ASCII sequences over the numeric keypad. For example, ASCII A is sent
as "ALT make" 0 6 5 "ALT Break."
