How to Set up a Simulation Rule:

1. Open the Scanner Keyboard app.
2. Tap on Scanner Keyboard preferences.
3. Scroll down to Keyboard behaviour and tap on it.
4. Select the required simulation rule (for specific target applications or predefined as standard rule) or create a new simulation rule by tapping on ADD SIMULATION RULE.
5. Select Prefix and suffix setting, place the cursor after the placeholder ${INPUT} (stands for the scanned bar code data), tap the button PLACEHOLDER and select Enter (or another required placeholder). The prefix and suffix setting should now show the following line:

   ${INPUT}${ENTER}
