HHP Barcode Scanners

[vvrt]

Hi,
I have a HHP wireless Barcode Sacnner and I want to send some escape commands to the scanner via ComPort1.
An example of the commands are 0<ESC>4<ESC>5<ESC>6,
The <ESC> is a 1B hex
My porblem is how do I send the above example to the scanner
using MScomm.Output
Am I to send it in hex form as in 0=30 hex <ESC> = 1B 4=34, 5=35
Mscomm1.output = "30 1B 34 1B 35,"
this does not work

any ideas would be of great help to point me in the right direction.

Regards
