2.2.Keyboard emulation configuration

The KEmul application can add a prefix and suffix to data incoming from the connected reader (barcode/RFID tag). The most common setting is to not use any prefix and Enter as suffix (default values). If the user wants to modify these values according to their needs, they should use the “Emulation settings” option available in the main menu.

The following screenshot presents the dialog box with the prefix/suffix configuration:

To select a new prefix/suffix, the user clicks the “New” button and then presses the key that will be used as the new prefix/suffix.

Each of these two options can be deactivated by unchecking the “Enable” checkbox.

In the case where the desired prefix or suffix should is a Ctrl-key, Shift-key or Alt-key combination, the user should first press the “New” button and then just use the plain key, not combined with any of the three special keys. Afterwards, the Ctrl/Alt/Shift checkboxes should be used to complete the desired combination.

The “Force Caps Lock to off” checkbox is useful when the keyboard Caps Lock key is active when the KEmul is launched. Selecting this option will deactivate the Caps Lock key during the keyboard emulation.
