Help With Microsoft POS and Metrologic Scanner

[rbgCODE]

Yes, I have decided to upgrade my barcode scanner on my POS with a Metrologic 7120 Orbit Scanner

My problem is that my old scanner reads only 10 digits of the 12 digit barcodes. it skips the first and last number, the metrologic however scans all the numbers in.

What can I do or what programming do i need to change on the scanner?

You need the scan code book for the 7120. There are barcodes in it you can scan that will tell it to drop the leading digit and the check digit.

i have the book i got it to drop the check digit but cant for the life of me get it to skip the first one. By any chance do you know the bar code I need?

I think, but not sure, but try the Do not transmit UPC-A number system and there is another that drops the leading zero for upc-e.
When I did it I kept scanning the restore default and starting over until I made it happen.
