Terminating Keys
Terminating keys are the nonprintable ASCII sequences and action keys. When the
computer finds them in a bar code, an action is taken, and the computer sends the
data in the buffer to the host computer. Terminating keys should appear only at the
end of the bar code. If they are located in the middle of a bar code, they are executed
normally, but the data following them in the bar code is ignored. Terminating keys
cause a computer-to-base station transmission. The computer ignores data in the
bar code buffer following these keys once a transmission takes place.
For example, the computer interprets the following sequence:
123$V456
as
123F6
The computer will not send
456
to the host computer because it follows the
terminating key
F6
.
ASCII sequences can be used any time before a terminating key. For example, the
computer interprets:
+H+E+L+L+O$M
as
hello<Enter>
