Barcode reader options

Glink can receive scanner data as simulated keyboard input, either in Keyboard Wedge mode or Keyboard Wedge Advanced mode. In Keyboard Wedge mode Glink does not know that barcode data is received from a scanner. In Keyboard Wedge Advanced mode a prefix (ˆ$0E) and a suffix (ˆ$0F) is configured in the scanner App settings. The prefix and suffix characters are used as a signal to Glink that the current keyboard input is actually barcode data and more Glink configuration options are available to handle the barcode data.

The options below are available in Keyboard Wedge Advanced mode.

The Action after scan option specifies if Tab or Enter should be added after the bar code has been scanned.

The Remove char(s) at start option removes one or more characters at the beginning of the barcode.

The Remove char(s) at end option removes one or more characters at the end of the barcode.

The Add text before option adds text before the barcode.

The Add text after option adds text after the barcode (the Action after scan will be added after this text).

The Show at status line option displays the scanned data as a status message at the bottom of the screen as well.
