special keys transmission

- only symbologies that support the full ASCII character set allow the encoding of special
keyboard keys such as <Return> and <Tab>

- no symbologies support the encoding of other function keys such as <PF1> and <PageDown>

- the special keys transmission codes allow you to transmit special keyboard keys as a single
keyboard character, a [<Ctrl> + character] combination, or an [<Alt> + decimal_sequence]
combination

control characters

- emulates PC AT keyboard [<Ctrl> + character] sequence or transmits certain keyboard
functions directly as single keyboard characters

on (*)

\47\4D\60

- transmits ASCII characters for decimal
numbers 1 to 27 with the corresponding [<Ctrl>

- transmits the following characters directly as
single keyboard characters:

ASCII character: transmitted as:

8 <Backspace> (not <Ctrl> H )
9 <Tab> (not <Ctrl> I )

27 <Escape> (not <Ctrl> [ )

- useful to avoid confusion for applications that
already use control sequences as commands

characters not on your keyboard)

off (*)
