Wand Emulation Interface 9 - 7
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, RSS).
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.
NOTE
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 (
Chapter 14, Advanced Data Formatting ).
