You can disable the option Barcode Reader if you are using a third-party barcode wedge software. If the option Barcode Reader is disabled, the barcode parameters will have no effect. All scanned data is internally converted to keystrokes, so any data scanned can also be input from the keyboard. When data is entered into a field using the scanner the flow of events are as follows:
- If the option Barcode Prefix defines a key string, that key string is processed first.
- The scanned data is then entered into that field one character at a time.
- If the field is too small to receive the scanned data, the emulator behaves in the same way as if too much data was entered from the keyboard.
- If the option Barcode Suffix defines a key string, it is entered as if it came from the keyboard.
Scanner On/Off Control in 3270/5250 emulation
By default, Freefloat Access*One turns off the scanner when the cursor is outside any input field or when there are no input fields on the screen. But if for example you need to simulate AID keys (function keys) by reading a barcode, the scanner needs to be enabled at all times by enabling the parameter Common/BarcodeBarcode/Reader Always On.
Scanner On/Off Control in ANSI emulation
Host can send the sequence "CSI % 0 S" to disable the scanner. And the sequence "CSI % 1 S" enables the scanner.
