Feature	Description
Wedge Country Code	Has the following options: US code—when used, all key codes are sent to the host. Refer to the Tag Translation Scan Code Table. International code—when used, the 27 key codes are not sent to the host (please refer to the second column of the Tag Translation Scan Code Table). Note KEY CODES apply to the bar code data, not the sentinels.
Character Delay	Prints the display of data in the text editor with delay between each character depending on the set time in milliseconds.
Caps Lock	Changes the key codes from lowercase to uppercase. Note KEY CODES apply to the bar code data, not the sentinels. The Caps Lock option applies only to the bar code data that contains letters from A to Z, uppercase or lowercase, exclusively.
Number Lock and Keypad	Changes the key codes sent to the host, but displays the same number. This is because the different key codes repreasent the same number.

Note

Refer to the scanner's User Guide for proper wedge settings, strapping settings, jumper settings, and programming. The 7884 and 7893 scanners have no jumpers to set. Wedge is automatically set when programmed.
