KEYBOARD WEDGEA device which plugs directly between the terminal keyboard and display - bar code, magnetic stripe and/or ASCII data input via the wedge emulates and complements keyboard entry into the user present software.
Compsee�s line of keyboard wedges provides the user
the easiest and fastest way to implement a bar code system. When
added to existing terminals and applications software, both the
speed and accuracy of data input is greatly improved.
We have learned through our years (20+) of installing keyboard
wedges, the varied requirements of the user, and in turn design
and manufacture the most versatile wedges on the market. With
the primary goal of reducing and, in some cases, eliminating operator
key entry, numerous features have been designed into the wedge
products.
PROGRAM MODESDefault All Reset to Factory Defaults Bar Code Menu Program by scanning individual bar codes for menu selection Bar Code Batch Combine multiple program selections into one bar code for program scanning. (TurboWedge Only) Serial Batch Program selections are communicated to the unit via the RS 232 Port. (TurboWedge Only) On-Screen For PC's only. Menus are displayed on the screen and selections made and transmitted via the keyboard with the unit attached as a keyboard wedge. (TurboWedge Only) AutoCape / WinCape PC Based Program WinCape = TurboWedge Only Wedge Clone Copy the program from one wedge to another. Symbology Validation Program the unit to read only specific bar code types and lengths. (TurboWedge Only) GENERAL PARAMETERS
Terminal Type Configure the wedge for the terminal
it is attached to
Keyboard Type Define the type of keyboard on
the terminal

Sweden, France, Germany, Italy, UK,
Switzerland.
Numeric Keypad Sets the unit to output the key
signals from the numeric keypad versus the
numeric keys above the alpha keyboard.
Buffer Enable If on, the rolling buffer lets the
user scan "ahead" of the output

Preamble Define from 1to 16 Characters or
Functions to precede each code
scanned
Postamble Define from 1to 16 Characters or
Functions to follow each code
scanned
Embedded Function Code Turn ON if keyboard functions are
embedded in the bar code
Code Identification Outputs a symbology identification
code prior to each bar code scanned
Redundancy Requires 2 identical reads of the
same bar code for a "good read"
AutoScan Enables the attached laser to read
every "x" numer of seconds.
(TurboWedge Only)
MultiScan Enables the attached laser to stay
on as long as bar codes are
being read (TurboWedge Only)
Code Enable/Disable Turn on or off specific bar codes
Code Length Define the minimum and maximum
length for a valid bar code
Check Digit Checks Turn on check digit calculation
of a specific code
Start/Stop Transmit Output the start and stop characters
or digits for a specific code
Check Digit Transmit Transmit, along with the bar code
the check digit character
UPC - Code ID Transmit Transmit the UPC code identifier

Dual Port Protocol Ready, Xon/Xoff, CTS/RTS, ACK/NAK
RS 232 Input Protocol Record, Xon/Xoff, CTS/RTS, Xmodem
Fixed Length Enable Set length of data record to be
transmitted
Transmit Path Transmit to Host and/or Terminal.
INPUT DATA EDIT PARAMETERS
Qualify by Port Define input port
Scanner
Auxiliary RS 232
Magnetic Stripe
All Ports
Qualify by Symbology Define the symbology of the printed
bar code or specify all in mag
stripe is being used
Qualify by Length Define the exact length of the input
data record or specify for variable
length input
Qualify by Data Match Define one or more characters that
must be present in specific
locations in the input record
OUTPUT DATA EDIT PARAMETERS
Add Data Insert additional data into the
output record
Delete Data Delete data from the input record
when formatting the output record
Reformat Data Regardless of the input record
format, arrange the output format
to meet the software application
requirements
Define 2 Output
Formats Define an "activate" label, that when
scanned, outputs the second of 2
data output formats defined for a
single input record
KEYBOARD MAPPING PARAMETERS
Single Key Positions Define the ASCII location for a
specific key
Swap Two Keys Change the output of one key to
another key position
Function Records Define the output of a keyboard
function (Enter, Tab, F22, ESC, etc.
Multiple Key Positions Define the output of a sequence
of keys depressions, either consecutive
or simultaneously
EXAMPLES - USER PROGRAMMING
1) Qualify by Length, Symbology and 2 Match Positions
- If Code 3 of 9 - Position 4 = M
- 12 Digits - Position 7 = T
Output Format = Ignore Match Characters,
Insert Tab and Enter
Input Record: 192M74T93842
Output Format: 192<Tab>7493842<Enter>
2) Qualify by Symbology and 1 Match Position
- If Code 128 - Position 8 = 5
- Variable Length
Output Format = Ignore Match Character
Insert Data and Function Codes
Input Record: 00433005920000223
Output Format: 0043300<F9><9001><Enter>
