Hi all
=20
I've got a Symbol LS2208 scanner. On one system when I scan the barcode
I get *ABC* which is what I want but on another I just get ABC.
I have a dim distant recollection I have to scan a barcode which says
"transmit start/stop characters" or words to that effect but I can't
remember where I saw it.
=20
Anybody shed any light please?
=20
Cheers
Graham

I've had to deal with something like that in the past... if you
download the manual I'll bet you'll find pages w/ barcodes that
control/reset the scanner. Just scan the page and you are all set...
In my case I just needed it to do an auto carriage return....

Thanks Matt
I've got the code39 programming manual and there doesn't seem to be
anything to put the asterisks back.=20
Weird one, I remember scanning a code on the other system but I cannot
remember what it was.

If you cant find the answer in the manual, from my experience the UK
telephone support at Symbol are very helpful.

Hey there Graham,
I actually happened to be doing a Barcode on a project - which I just
wrapped up this morning. Although, the scanner I was using was
different, and the BarCode SW (IDAutomation) may be different than what
you are using. But, there may be some commonalities - as your problems
seems related to what I was dealing with.=20
There is supposed to be Start/Stop characters in the Barcode. Generally
it's the Asterisks. Now, in the actual human-readable number that is at
the bottom of the Barcode - people don't always want to see the
Asterisks on there. So, I had to do coding to remove the asterisks for
display purposes - by using parenthesis - () - as the start/stop
characters - instead of the asterisks.
Hoepefully this may shed some light or put you in the right direction...
-K-
