e.g. I scan the bar code into a cell in Excel, I want the cursor to stop at the next cell to the right on the same row instead of going down to the next row. 

Step-by-step guide:


You can print out page 26, 125, 126, 136, 137 & 138 of the User Manual and follow the steps below to get the scanner programmed:

  1. On page 26, scan the "Code Programming On"
  2. On page 26, scan the "Load All Factory Default"
  3. On page 26, scan the "Code Programming Off" 
  4. On page 126, scan the "Code Programming On" 
  5. On page 126, scan the "Disable Stop Suffix"
  6. On page 126, scan the "Code Programming Off"
  7. On page 125, scan the "Code Programming On" 
  8. On page 125, scan the "Program User Suffix"
  9. On page 136, scan the "0"
  10. On page 137, scan the "9"
  11. On page 138, scan the "Save"
  12. On page 125, scan the "Enable User Suffix"
  13. On page 125, scan the "Code Programming Off"

Then test read the bar code in Notepad or Excel a couple times to verify the output.
