Function/Control Key Support

The RF Laser can also transmit key sequences for function, control, alt

(command and option keys on Macs), cursor and shift keys, for ease of use

with the many software packages using these keys for menus or commands.

You can include these codes in other bar codes, or you can scan these

“keystrokes” into your Preamble or Postamble in order to add them to every

scan from your reader. You must have Full ASCII Code 39 enabled on your

reader (this is the default setting). Scan the corresponding bar code (or pairs of

codes for Pg Up, Pg Dn, Home, etc) from the Full ASCII menu to emulate the

chosen key.
