Insert key strokes
B5
Insert a key stroke or combination of key strokes. Key strokes are dependent on your
keyboard (see Keyboard Key References on page 309). Any key can be inserted, including
arrows and functions.
Syntax = 5CB5xxssnn
where xx is the number of keys pressed (without
key modifiers), ss is the key modifier from the table below, and nn is the key number from the
Keyboard Key References, page 239.

For example, B501021F inserts a
n “A” on a 104 key, U.S. style keyboard. B5 = the
command,
01 = number of key press events (without the key modifier), 02 is the key modifier for Shift
Right, and 1F is the “a”
key. If a lower
case “a” w
ere to be inserted, B501001F would be
entered.
If there are three keystrokes, the syntax would change from B5xxssnn for one keystroke to
B5xxssnnssnnssnn. An example that would insert "abc" is as follows: B503001F00320030F833.
Note:
Key modifiers can be added together when needed. The sum is converted to hexadecimals.
Example:
Control Left+Shift Left = 17, converted to hexadecimal = 11.
Move Commands

F5

haracters from current cursor position.
Syntax = F5nn
where nn is the numeric value (00-99) for the number of characters the cursor

Move the cursor forward 3 characters, then send the rest of the barcode data from the
barcode above. End with a carriage return.
