Barcode reader - to store data in Excel

[KrunoG]

hi,

I'm trying to put into service a barcode reader (symbol ds6608) and the
codes he reads out store in Excel sheet.
He stores all data in one cell with no visible delimiters and loses some
specific characters in ASCI-1250 (central European).
Is there a known solution for this?

Thank's in advance

You absolutely need the programming manual of the reader. Lots of parameters
are to be set depending your configuration.

Since the cursor stays in the cell, concatenating all read codes, you
probably have to program a "Terminator" (None, CR, LFn CR/LF, Space, Tab,
Esc, Ctrl-C, Exec, Stx..Etx, EOT are the possibilities of my "el cheapo"
scanner). Also adapt the settings to the keyboard layout.

BTW, on my scanner, programming is done by scanning special control codes.
Very easy.

Good luck
