In 123Scan there is the option to foramt data by adding characters to the end of the data - e.g add or . However the choice of characters you can add is limited to those offered in the pull down menus. I may be wrong but the choice appears to be limited to 128 ASCII characters, some combos and a few others.
I am specifically interested in being able to append combination which is used within Excel cells and Word tables to add a TAB within a cell.
I beleive this is ASCII code 148. So a couple of questions .
1. Who else is interested in getting this key combination added to 123Scan?
2. Should it offer support for adding any 8 bit ASCII character code?

There are options to activate the , , and keys which you then follow with your key of choice. If I understand this correctly this allows you to send the keystroke of or or or any other desired combination. However I have tested this on a DS4308 with the latest firmware and it did not work. So although this features looks like a promising answer to our problem it now appears we have to wait for the scanner firmware to catch up.
Zebra - any comment to add? And when can we expect this feature to appear in 123Scan?
