How to insert special character TAB in a barcode using font "free 3 of 9" ?

[HUHA]

Hello.
I am using font 3 of 9 to generate barcodes, print them and scan them with a handheld USB scanner model LS2208 .

The text that i wish to print is something like this

1234567890TAB12345678901234TABTAB

How can i make it when i scann the barcode, that instead of reading the letters T A B to make it like i press key TAB from the keyboard ?
And i have to enable on the scanner something ?
Thank you.

It has been long time not using scanner ?

You can refer to product guide reference for the code for each control character

https://www.zebra.com/content/dam/zebra_new_ia/en-us/manuals/barcode-scanners/ls2208-product-reference-guide-en-us.pdf

In the manual it is stated that the TAB on extended keypad is 7009. So, here is the thing you need to do the insert TAB scanner code

Configure your Motorola/Symbol LS2208 to Send a Tab Key Character After Each Scan-

Follow the steps below to enable the Symbol LS2208 to send a Tab Key suffix after each barcode scan. Print and scan the barcodes below in the order listed.

Hello.
I need that the excel to generate a barcode with numbers and letters , which includes TAB to jump to the next row in a software.
I have a software with 3 rows and when i am scanning the barcode, i need to fill the first row with letters (around 9-10 characters),
after it will automatically go to the 2nd row which i want to be empty and jump to the next row with TAB,
and the cursor will reach 3-rd row. Here i need to enter a car number (around 7-8 number and letters ) and after the data ends, i need to go back to 2-nd row , these means one TAB to go to first row and again another TAB to go to 2-nd row , and here the user will input something manually .
the barcode that i scanned will not be scanned in excel.

Thank you.

if you are generating barcodes i strongly recommend you use something like Code-128 which incorporates a checksum. many barcodes do not have a checksum and errors are not detected on bad printouts or dirty codes. you can scan your code with out the tabs and use vba to skip the textboxes

Thank you for the heads up. I did not read the forum rules . The link in your post is my post in other forum.

@diddi , i am not scanning the barcode in to an excel . I am scanning the barcode in to a Zebra MC90XXXX handheld scanner which is running a telnet session , so that is i need TAB to the next row and i can not use VBA to skip the textboxes.
