Re: Scanning 2D barcode to Display File

[Michael Schutte <mschutte369@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have the same issue.  I discovered that the display files did not like
the group separators (GS).  I had programmed the RF guns to translate them
to pipes "|".   For us, the group separators were destroying the display,
tying the user up where they couldn't do anything anymore.  Sorry about
being vague, I'm sure what to call it.   That was with a GS-1 barcode.

Now we are venturing into the 2D barcode and I suspect that we will have to
do the same thing with translating the GS codes into pipe symbols that the
display file can handle.

We are using StayLinked on our RF devices if that makes any difference to
you.
