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.
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- -----Original Message----- From: On Behalf Of Mark Dimmock Sent: Friday, May 15, 2009 8:17 AM If you cant find the answer in the manual, from my experience the UK telephone support at Symbol are very helpful. Regards Mark -----Original Message----- From: On Behalf Of Graham Brown Sent: 14 May 2009 17:30 Hi all 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. Anybody shed any light please?
