Ignore Unknown Characters

Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown
Characters
is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the
scanner. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar codes containing at least
one unknown character are not sent to the host, and an error beep sounds on the scanner.

Convert All to Code 39

By default, the wand emulation interface sends data to the attached host in the same symbology that was decoded.
This can present a problem for older systems that do not recognize some newer symbologies (for example, GS1
DataBar).

Enabling this parameter ignores the symbology that was decoded, and transmits the data as if it were a Code 39
bar code. Any lowercase characters in the original data stream transmit as uppercase characters. This also allows
ADF formatting.

If Ignore Unknown Characters is enabled, characters that do not have a corresponding character in the Code 39
symbology set are replaced by a space.

If Ignore Unknown Characters is disabled, if characters that do not have a corresponding character are
encountered, the scanner emits an error beep and does not transmit data.

ADF Note: By default, the wand emulation interface does not allow scanned data to use ADF rules. Enabling this
parameter allows the scanned data to use ADF rules. See

Chapter 14, Advanced Data Formatting
