3. Convert All to Code 39 By default the wand emulation interface sends data to the attached host in the same symbology that was decoded This can present a problem for older systems that do not recognize some newer symbologies for example GS1 DataBar Enabling this parameter ignores the symbology that was decoded and transmits the data as if it were a Code 39 bar code Any lowercase characters in the original data stream transmit as uppercase characters This also allows ADF formatting If Ignore Unknown Characters is enabled 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 characters that do not have a corresponding character are encountered the scanner emits an error beep and does not transmit data ADF Note By default the wand emulation interface does not allow scanned data to use ADF rules Enabling this parameter allows the scanned data to use ADF rules See Chapter 14 Advanced Data Formatting Convert All to Code 39 for Wand Host Enable Not Convert to Code 39 for Wand Host Disable Wand Emulation Interface 9 7 Convert Code 39 to Full ASCI
