How do I program a Carriage Return for my scanner device when used with a Cherry 7000/8000 Keyboard?

Programming a Carriage Return for a Barcode Device Used With Cherry 7000/8000 Keyboards

***The barcode device must be plugged directly into the Cherry keyboard for the following programming rules to apply. If you are using a separate keyboard wedge or the barcode device is plugged directly into the pc; Please contact the manufacturer of the Barcode device directly.

Important Note: When programming any of the following sequences, do not use the Numeric Keypad unless specified. Any numbers that you use for programming must be from the alphanumeric (QWERTY) side of the keyboard. After every line of code listed below, you should get a message. If not, immediately press the Enter key in the Numeric Keypad and start that programming string again.

Num Enter = The enter key from the Numeric Keypad
QWERTY Enter = The enter key from the alphanumeric section of the keyboard

Step 1:
Close all programs and open an editor such as Notepad or go to a DOS prompt.

Step 2:
Enter programming mode by holding down the following six key combination until you hear two beeps and ***MENU ENTRY*** is displayed in your editor.
Ctrl (left), Shift (left), Alt (left), Ctrl (right), Shift (right), Alt (right)

Step 3:
Program the Barcode Terminator:

If you are using the 9pin port on the back of the keyboard, do the following:
Press: T then 3 then QWERTY Enter (from the alphanumeric section of the keyboard) then Num Enter (from the Numeric Keypad)

If you are using the 6pin port on the side of the keyboard, do the following:
Press: T then 4 then QWERTY Enter (from the alphanumeric section of the keyboard) then Num Enter (from the Numeric Keypad)

Step 4:
Exit Programming Mode
Press: Spacebar (you should see ***MENU EXIT***)
