Keyboard emulation operation
As soon as a USB cord is connected between the USB-C output and a host, the reader
switches to an autonomous mode, in which it performs inventories and sends all the EPCs
of every detected tag in an active window.
The keyboard emulation settings can be configured using the internal USB-C connector:
-Using a terminal capable of sending ASCII characters on the serial connection of the
internal USB-C. The commands must end with CR/LF (0x0D 0x0A). The reader
responds “o” and “k” in ASCII when the frame is successfully retrieved.
-Using the STid –USB Wedge tool supplied on the USB key. Refer to Appendix 1.
