An ID device of type Barcode normally handles a barcode scanner. Since PowerMACS allows you to
freely choose which characters that are used to frame the scanned ID string it supports most types of
scanners.
The character entered as Start character, if any, must be the first character returned from the device. If
not the device is marked erroneous until a correct string is scanned.
Enter as End character the character that marks the end of returned string. Non-printable characters are
entered using their hexadecimal code enclosed between a pair of "<" and ">", for example "<09>" for a
horizontal tab.
