USB and keyboard settings

USB and keyboard settings#

USB host interface#

USB device type#

Used to select which USB type the device enumerates to the host. After switching the USB device type, the device will automatically reset and emit a standard power-on beep.

Currently confirmed device types include:

  • SNAPI with Imaging Interface, default value

  • SNAPI without Imaging Interface

  • HID Keyboard Emulation

  • IBM Table Top USB

  • IBM Hand-Held USB

  • USB OPOS Hand-Held

  • Simple COM Port Emulation

  • USB CDC Host

  • SSI over USB CDC

SSI over USB CDC

SSI over USB CDC#

Note

The host should install the CDC INF file before selecting USB CDC Host, otherwise the device may hang on power-on enumeration. SSI over USB CDC only provides a subset of the SSI protocol and does not include hardware handshake functionality.

USB Static CDC#

Used to control the COM port allocation method when multiple devices are connected.

  • Enable USB Static CDC, default value

  • Disable USB Static CDC

Enable USB Static CDC

* Enable USB Static CDC#

Disable USB Static CDC

Disable USB Static CDC#

After enabling, multiple devices can reuse the same COM port; after disabling, each connected device will occupy a new COM port number.

USB polling interval#

Used to set the interval at which the host polls the device in USB HID keyboard mode. The smaller the value, the faster the data transfer.

The currently confirmed values include:

  • 1 msec

  • 2 msec

  • 3 msec

  • 4 msec

  • 5 msec

  • 6 msec

  • 7 msec

  • 8 msec, default value

  • 9 msec

Warning

The device will reinitialize after the polling interval is changed. If the host cannot handle data rates that are too fast, data loss may result.

USB keyboard output#

Used to illustrate the basic behavior and supporting parameters in USB HID Keyboard Emulation mode. Settings such as national keyboard layout, Caps Lock compatibility, and prefix and suffix ASCII tables only take effect in this mode.

USB keyboard FN1 replacement#

Applies to USB HID Keyboard Emulation only. When enabled, replaces FN1 characters in EAN 128 barcodes with user-defined key categories and values.

  • Enable

  • Disable, default value

USB ASCII character set#

Used to describe the encoding mapping of prefixes, suffixes, and control characters in USB mode.

The key points confirmed are as follows:

  • This section corresponds to Table 8-2 USB Prefix/Suffix Values

  • Mapping covers 1000 to 1126

  • The table also gives Full ASCII, Code 39 Encode Character and Keystroke

  • When Function Key Mapping is enabled, bold keys in the table replace the standard mappings

Convert USB unknown characters to Code 39#

Applies only to IBM hand-held, IBM tabletop, and OPOS devices.

  • Disable Convert Unknown to Code 39, default value

  • Enable Convert Unknown to Code 39

Disable unknown character conversion to Code 39

* Disable conversion of unknown characters to Code 39#

Used to control whether to convert unknown barcode type data to Code 39 output when encountering it.

USB ignores unknown characters#

Applies to HID Keyboard Emulation and IBM devices.

  • Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters (Transmit), default value

  • Do Not Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters (Disable)

Sending data containing unknown characters

* Send data containing unknown characters#

Do not send data containing unknown characters

Do not send data containing unknown characters#

When sending is enabled, the device will ignore unknown characters but continue to send other data; when disabled, the IBM device will prevent the entire barcode from being sent, and the HID Keyboard device will send up to unknown characters and issue an error tone.

Applies only to IBM hand-held, IBM tabletop, and OPOS devices.

  • Honor USB Beep Directive, default value

  • Ignore USB Beep Directive

Follow USB beep instructions
