Hi,

This can be possible, therefore it is not an Excel setting. You would need
to use the software that comes with your bar-code reader to configure this.

Try looking in your bar-code reader documentation for "Append Enter" or
"Append Carriage Return"

Hello Jane Diaz,
the scanner has several barcode types enabled by default. Other type or lengths must be activated with an programming barcode from the Programm Reference Guide for LS4000.
Please check which kind of barcode are you using. Download the Program Reference Guide from support.symbol.com Scan the barcodes from the chapter Symbologies

hello, what scanner do you have? Did you scan the barcodes in the quick ref guide to set up the scanner? If not, you will need to go to the the manufacture website, and download teh quick referenece guide then scan the barcodes in the book that is designed for your set up

let me know if i can be of additional assistance:
Thank you,

Please check the Symbologies chapter in the LS4000 Guide, you would need to enable the correct length.
The Guide is avalaible here http://support.symbol.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=3789802apdf&sliceId=&dialogID=189660227&stateId=1%200%20189654325

Hello Metro9. It sounds like something has gone haywire in you unit's configuration. We have the LS4000i manual available on our website. Have a look at it and go to page 5-6 for the "Set All Defaults" barcode. Printing this page and scanning the barcode will reset all of the settings on your LS4000i to it's default settings which are listed on page 5-1. That would be resetting the scanner. If you have any other problems, feel free to send me a message or email and I'll be happy to help. Good luck!

You are able to purchase a USB cable from symbol that will take the place of your current cable.

The LS 4000i is available with several different interfaces.

LS4004i - RS-232/Serial interface
LS4006i - Keyboard Wedge interface
LS4007i - USB interface

LS4000i does not work with USB or RS232. It is an undecoded (dumb) scanner you need a LS4004 to work with RS232 and special STI adaptor for anything other then 4006, 4007 and 4008. You can always contact me by phone or email 630-622-2024 [email protected] Please visit our website www.legacyglobal.com

There is no such bar code. barcode scanner scans any barcode and give the result.
scanner can scan in any software. eg. excel,word. dos etc.

Disconnect the scanner from the mouse port or disconnect the mouse from the scanner. The scanner must be connected to the keyboard port and have a keyboard attached to the scanner.

You need to set up the "HOST" parameter. Symbol Scanners are set up with barcodes. You will need the Product Refrerence Guide. Go to http://support.symbol.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=3789802apdf&sliceId=&dialogID=118892050&stateId=0%200%2012121222 and download the manual. If you can't figure it out, call 1-800-653-5350 (Symbol Help Desk) and they will walk you through it.

Cheers.

The first beep is a Good decode beep, the four beeps later are telling that the connection to your PC is not working properly.

you need to download the pdf manual for this reader whichh you can find in the support page of www.symbol.com.
search within the manual a barcode called set all defaults. this will remove the carriage return after scan.

You can create a barcode in Code 39 that contains $M. Then scan the Enable Code 39 Full ASCII barcode from the Symbologies section of the LS4000 Series Product Reference Guide (Adobe page 93 of 182). If you are unable to create the barcode Knowledge Article ADC-00266 contains the $M barcode. You may run into problems with your application if it does not see a Control M as an Enter. If this is the case the article contains instructions for addressing this problem as well.

Hello, it looks like the scanner lost the settings. As power is there, so connection is ok. The several (four) beeps after reading the barcode means communication error.
Please try to find the original sheet with configuration barcodes or download it from support.symbol.com website, you would need to scan the barcode for IBM PC/AT & IBM Compatibles from Keyboard Wedge Chapter.
