Wand Emulation Interface
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 will sound on the scanner.

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 may present a problem for customers with older
systems that do not recognize some newer symbologies (for example, RSS).
Enabling this parameter ignores the original symbology that was decoded, and outputs the
data as if it were a Code 39 barcode. Any lowercase characters that were in the original
data stream are transmitted as uppercase characters. This also allows ADF Formatting to
occur.
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 character are encountered, the scanner emits an error beep and no data is
transmitted.
