Short version:Recently purchased a DS3578. Building an HTML / JavaScript web page that captures a barcode as it is scanned into an element. Going well except for the type of barcode shown below on Ericsson equipment. These types of barcodes seem to return a "CTRL-D" to the end of the barcode. This results in "internet explorer" opening the "Add Favourites".
Any tips / advice on how to cope with this?
Ericsson Barcodes (Teleco equipment) - Adding Ctrl-D at end of scan |

Hi David, your best bet is to use 123Scan to modify the output by stripping the CTRL-D.
I note the 1D barcode is Code 128 and produces SBR81201902.
The 2D barcode is PDF-417 and is more complex.
[)>061P1/BFL 901 009/121PR3B22PSUP 6601 12D20110215 SBR81201902
Where -
= record separator, ASCII 30 or CTRL-^
= group separator, ASCII 29 or CTRL-]
= end of transmission, ASCII 4 or CTRL-D
So the in the 2D barcode is the problem as you say.
So using 123Scan create a configuration for your scanner. Within the config section select Modify Data and then choose Program complex data modification / Advanced data Formatting / Create a New Rule. Since I am not sure what other barcode you scan it is hard to give exact instructions from this point on but suggest you create a rule that only works on PDF-417 barcodes and program it so it drops the last character.
