This inversion is done regardless of the current state of the keyboard Caps Lock state.
Page 79: Auto-Reconnect Feature
Radio Communications 4 - 17 Auto-reconnect Feature When in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the digital scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. This can happen if the digital scanner goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down.

12 - 8 DS6878 Product Reference Guide Transmission Timeout The Scanner Emulation host transmits bar code data to the attached decoder and waits for the decoder to assert the Decode signal, indicating successful transmission. If, after a specified amount of time, the Decode signal is not asserted (indicating that the attached decoder has not successfully received the bar code data), the digital scanner issues transmit error beeps.
Page 263: Ignore Unknown Characters
Scanner Emulation Interface 12 - 9 Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters the decoder does not recognize. When Ignore Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound. When Convert Error on Unknown Characters is selected, bar codes containing at least one unknown character are not sent to the decoder, and a convert error beep sounds.

Page 489: Appendix G Signature Capture Code
APPENDIX G SIGNATURE CAPTURE CODE Introduction CapCode, a signature capture code, is a special pattern that encloses a signature area on a document and allows a scanner to capture a signature. There are several accepted patterns that allow automatic identification of different signatures on the same form.
Page 490: Capcode Pattern Structure
G - 2 DS6878 Product Reference Guide CapCode Pattern Structure A CapCode pattern structure consists of a start pattern followed by a separator space, a signature capture box, a second separator space, and then a stop pattern. Assuming that X is the dimension of the thinnest element, the start and stop patterns each contains 9X total width in 4 bars and 3 spaces.

Signature Capture Code G - 3 Table G-2 lists selectable parameters used to generate the image of the captured signature. User Defined CapCode Parameters Table G-2 Parameter Defined Width Number of pixels Height Number of pixels Format JPEG, BMP, TIFF JPEG quality 1 (most compression) to 100 (best quality) Bits Per Pixel...
Page 492: Additional Capabilities
G - 4 DS6878 Product Reference Guide Additional Capabilities Regardless of how the signature is captured, the output signature image is de-skewed and right-side up. A scanner that captures signatures automatically determines whether it is scanning a signature or a bar code.
