TAB Postamble on CK3

[csdurbin]

I am having an issue similar to this thread.

I have a VB.NET application, that I have developed, running on a CK3a. The scanner has been set with a \t (\x09) as a scan postamble. The program worked great. You could scan a barcode into a textbox control, the box would get the TAB at the end of the scan and move to the next textbox automatically. I upgraded the firmware from 3.40.18.0102 to 3.45.26.0031 and this no longer works. I installed the program on a different scanner that hasn't been updated with the new firmware and it works correctly.

Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks.

I had the same problem you mentioned, only my CK3a1 came w/the firmware version you upgraded to.  The helpful support guy Fred, emailed me a new version of the "IVA" which includes the Intermec Settings program.  Installing this new version  (which may cause you to lose all custom settings that you might have set via this program) fixed the problem for me.  I did have to go back in and set the post-amble again.  The cab file zip he gave me is called itcivack3wm.cab, but you need to get the right version (and I don't know the version ID). 

The version that didn't work for me is the one where all the options appear in a tree-like structure that you can collapse & expand with +-.  It also requires you to save your settings manually.  The new version gives you the categories as buttons you tap and each one takes you a level deeper.  After you make your change, you click OK & the setting is saved automatically.

Go to intermec.custhelp.com; clickFind Answer; Select Search by Product: Computer; Select CK3; enter search text "Postamble"; select Similar Phrase and you will find KC answer 11798

Although the problem desription does not mention a TAB, it should work for you.

I am sorry, you have to have sometimes a lot of phantasy to find answers in KC.

I dont know the version of SSPB you have installed, but the actual SSPB on the downloads page of the CK3 is of 21th may 2010: http://webapps.intermec.com/EFulfillment/SoftwareListForm.aspx?SoftwareID=2564. It should also have some SRs and fixes builtin.

I am not sure if it is a good idea to install the old OS 3.40 SSPB 6.20.29.0432 onto OS 3.45 or later devices. The SSPB on the downloads page is currently  SSPB 6.20.33.0474

Below is a working vwconfig.ini which supports both a TAB and CR. Create a file containing this called vwconfig.ini, copy into the device \Windows folder and reboot.
