Take a look in the files section under Barcoding on this site. I have a doc up there that does the initial setup and setting the min char length to 1 is one of the settings.

I looked in the manual for this scanner (MOTOROLA SYMBOL LS2208) and I cannot find anything that sets that.
I am currently downloading a doc. From the website and hope to find that setting.
If anyone has a barcode that set that I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Mike

By default, most scanners won't read a single character. This can be changed via the setup of the scanner. I think the logic is that a bar code with only one character must be a mistake.

Thank you
That solved that issue.
Now I have another problem with barcodes. The reader won't read the assembly barcode.
Is there a fix for that?
I scan the barcode and nothing shows up in the assembly area.

We used the following code to get the Tab function to work:
"*"&{JobAsmbl.JobNum}&"$I"&"*"
the &"$I" is the code for the tab.
