Bar Codes with Unknown Characters

This option applies only to the USB Keyboard HID and IBM devices. Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize.

  • Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters—sends all bar code data except for unknown characters. The scanner issues no error beeps.
  • Do Not Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters—prevents sending bar codes containing at least one unknown character to the host, or for USB Keyboard HID devices to send the bar code characters up to the unknown character. The scanner issues an error beep.

Scan one of the following bar codes to select the scanner response to unknown characters. By default, this parameter is set to Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters.
