I just bought 2 Memor K, Android handheld computers. I really like this scanner. However, I have a problem scanning Bar Codes for EAN -13 when scanning the ISBN code on a book cover. The EAN – 13 or EAN 13 +5 Ext symbology will lose the 13th character. For instance the ISBN is:
9781401264482. However, the Memor K only picks up 978140126448[LF]. It loses the final character, “2”.
There is a 5-digit extension called, EAN – 13 + 5 Ext. That also loses the 13th character. The extended barcode looks like this: 97814012644851699. It has the final 5-digit extension, but omits character 13, which should be “2”.
Code 128 barcodes are read fine.
Is there a way to correct the configuration of the EAN 13 and EAN 13 + 5 Ext? It is wrong.
