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 digital 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
the digital scanner emits an error beep.

Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters

Convert All Bar Codes to Code 39

By default, the Wand Emulation interface sends data to the attached host in the same symbology that was decoded. This can be a
problem for customers with older systems that do not recognize newer symbologies (for example, GS1 DataBar).
Enabling this parameter ignores the original symbology decoded, and outputs the data as if it were a Code 39 bar code. Any lowercase
characters in the original data stream are transmitted as uppercase characters. This also allows ADF Formatting.
If Ignore Unknown Characters is enabled, any 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 any characters that do not have a corresponding Code 39 character are encountered,
the digital scanner emits an error beep and no data is transmitted.
ADF Note: By default, the Wand Emulation interface does not allow scanned data to be processed by ADF
rules. Enabling this parameter allows the scanned data to be processed by ADF rules
Note Data Formatting).
