CHANGE SETTING #: _
o The USB HID ALT OUTPUT setting by default is set to OFF and sends keys to the computer as scanned or keyed from the
TriCoder keypad. You can change the USB HID ALT OUTPUT from OFF to ON to switch this mode if you are using a
foreign keyboard in your Windows setup and your data isnt coming across correctly from the T riCoder in HID Keyboard
data upload or Non-Portable mode.
o An example of this is if you scan a bar code, or key in A on the TriCoder, and upload it with your computer keyboard set
as an English - US Keyboard you will always get an A sent to the computer. However, if you choose another language
or country keyboard like French (France) you may get a different character (e.g. Q). By changing the USB HID ALT
OUTPUT to OFF the Tr iCoder will send the correct ALT sequence to the computer regardless of your keyboard settings.
For the ab ove example it would send a seque nce to the computer equivalent to pressing Alt-On 065 Alt-Off which
would be an A.
o To Change the USB HID ALT OUTPUT press the 9 key on the TriCoder Keypad
