LS2208 scanner not returning for multiple scans

Symbol barcode scanners by default do not add a return after a scan. You need to program the scanner to add a suffix.

Scan a barcode

I had this problem as well, and I found the fix! Go to this site:

It is the link to the PDF support for the scanner. It has barcodes you can scan to program the scanner to press enter or tab when it is done!

Hello,

In your programming manual there is a barcode scan that needs to be scanned in that adds the carriage return function. To do this you will first need to scan the barcode to put the unit into program mode, then scan the carriage return barcode, then scan the end programming code. Now when you scan a barcode the scanner will add the return to the sequence it sends to the computer. If you can't find your programming book you can download the sheets from the Symbol web site.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.

Attached are the programming barcodes for the LS2208 solve this problem. Print the attached file and scan the barcodes in order 1-10. This will only work on a LS2208. If you scan the Set Defaults barcode it will erase this programming rule.

there is a document you will need to scan to do this, if you want to send me an e-mail i will send you the document

Hi, to make the scanner automatically hit enter print and scan the barcodes Scan Options, Data Suffix, and Enter from Adobe pages 222 and 223 of 342 of the LS2208 Product Reference Guide.

Go to http://support.symbol.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=7188201bpdf&sliceId=&dialogID=111756507&stateId=0%200%2011492385
This is the quick start guide for the LS2208. On the first page you will see a section titled Carriage Return/Line Feed. Scan these three bar codes from top to bottom. That's it.

Hi,
Your scanner is set up for full Ascii mode.
$B = CTRL B
%I = >

Re-program to enable "Code 39" and disable "Code 39 Full Ascii"

In Code 39:
$B = Control key on
%I = Tab

Hope this helps.

At the Symbol web site they have some instuctions for programming a 'Tab' at each scan.

Go to the LS2208 quick start manual scan the "Set Defaults" barcode and it will return the handheld to factory default.

The scanner does not detect the keyboard host on power up and is locking up your keyboard. The IBM PC/AT host type barcode must be scanned the first time it is setup. The barcode is on Adobe page 56 of 342 of the LS2208 Product Reference Guide. The scanner should start working immediately after the host type barcode is scanned.
