[. . . ] Add starting code: You can have the IRISPen execute operations automatically in the target application before the output result is being inserted. You can for example have the software operate a carriage return before it inserts any read line. A series of possible codes are proposed by default, but you can also introduce your own starting code. To insert a starting code, select a code from the drop-down list or select Custom to introduce our own code, then click OK to confirm. With the Custom code, you can add any combination of keyboard commands and/or characters. The default starting code is: <None>. 45 IRISPen Executive 6 - User's guide Add ending code: You can have the IRISPen execute operations automatically in the target application after the output result is being inserted. If you insert data into a database, you can for example define a tabulation as ending code to automatically position your cursor in the next field. A series of possible codes are proposed by default, but you can also introduce your own ending code. To insert an ending code, select a code from the drop-down list or select Custom to introduce your own code, then click OK to confirm. You can add any combination of keyboard commands and/or characters. The default ending code is: <Space>. · Click OK to confirm and close the window. CHARACTER SUBSET The subset of characters used by the IRISPen to read data is set according to the Scan type and the Language chosen for the reading. As you can imagine, the subset of characters used for reading numeric data differs from the one used for reading text: the first one mainly contains figures while the second one also contains letters. Similarly, the subset used for reading English differs from the one used for reading French (think of the "é", "è", "û", etc. that do not exist in English), etc. 46 CHAPTER 5 - FREQUENT COMMANDS Character subset for the Text scan type in English: By using a specific subset of characters, the software eliminates the chances of recognition errors. For example, if you select the reading mode Numeric, you limit the set of recognized characters to numeric symbols only. By doing so, no confusion can possibly be made between "5" and "S", ""9" and "g", "8" and "B", etc. as the software automatically interprets the characters as figures. You can also by yourself go one step further and customize any of the proposed subsets of characters. You can create a character subset that exclusively contains those symbols you want to recognize. As an example, if you want to read amounts given in dollars exclusively, select the reading mode Numeric, then limit the character set to figures, punctuation and the "$" sign, and eliminate all other unnecessary symbols.
