DataLogic QuickScan - output of non-printable characters

1

1

I have a DataLogic QuickScan QBT2400 and I would like to enable non-printable ASCII characters. In particular, I am scanning GS1 data matrices, which contain the (group separator) character (ASCII 29), which is useful to determine when a variable-length field ended, but with the default settings, this character is not being output. Thanks.

What hinders you to download and read the manuals? -> https://www.datalogic.com/eng/retail/hand-held-scanners/quickscan-i-qbt2400-pd-641.html

I've downloaded it, and I failed to find what I was looking for, but I can't read it all, it's definitely too long. – Sasinosoft – 2019-10-30T07:42:31.567

After hours trying to find proper documentation and failing, I decided instead to analyze the scanner's behavior, and I found out that it outputs the Oem6 key every time the group separator is encountered in the barcode/2d-code. This does not solve the original question, however I was able to get the work done by making my program detect the Oem6 key and putting the group separator (ASCII 0x1D) in the string.
