[SOLVED] Anyone Familiar with POS/Barcode scanners...

Hi there... if anyone is famiiliar..

actually i have a barcode scabber Zebra/Symbol LS2208 RS232...

and i want to connect at a cashier (acr micrelec type) that support serial...

The problem is when scanner is programmed like standard RS232... nothing scanned...
when i am programming like Fujitsu Rs232 host... scanning but adding character "F" in front of a barcode
for example at ean-13...

real data is: 2100280001255... but gives: F2100280001255

so if someone knows how to remove (program scanner with a barcode label that will remove F.. or something) not show first prefix character will help me


here all the manuals... and downloads if help

Has someone programmed your scanner with a prefix?

Have you tried the suggestion in this article?

How Do I Program the LS2208 to Not Send a Suffix after Each Bar
Code Scan?

@Derek Johnson ...no... as i said just programmed (barcode scanner) as Fujitsu Host RS232 because is the only seems supported by Cashier (ACR)...

So at the real data adding and F in front of... actually as prefix...

//So actually is not a barcode label character that i want to remove... is from the type i ve selected...

Any idea ?

From the manual:

RS-232 Host Parameters (continued)

Selecting the ICL, Fujitsu, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode A,Wincor-Nixdorf Mode B, OPOS terminal enables the transmission of code ID characters listed inTablebelow. These code ID characters are not programmable and are separate from the Transmit Code ID feature. The Transmit Code ID feature should not be enabled for these
terminals.

i can't understand if that (the F character) is Transmit Code ID or terminal id ...

just edited..

I ve understand... after reading 10-20 pages..

I want to remove the Terminal Specific Code ID not the transmit code id

Ok you say

The problem is when scanner is programmed like standard RS232... nothing scanned...
when i am programming like Fujitsu Rs232 host... scanning but adding character "F" in front of a barcode
for example at ean-13...

Looking at the manual the differences are listed in this table:



Apart from the added prefix of F for the Fujitsu terminal, the only other difference to the standard Default RS-232 terminal is the Suffix for the standard which is CR/LF (7013).

So it seems to be that you could get what you want by first programming the scanner as a Standard terminal, then changing the suffix from 7013 to 1013.

The manual specifically says that you can do this:







So I would suggest trying again with standard RS232 setup and then changing the generated prefix character.
