Inconsistent Scanner Input

I believe I got to the bottom of this problem. It turns out that the Zebra scanners we are using have an issue with the “shift” key when using the keyboard emulation. When the codes are being sent to the computer, it simulates the user pressing the “shift” key for symbols like “<” and “>”. Then, it gets “stuck” on and when it sends a number like “1”, it sends “shift-1” instead which is “!”. I ended up getting a cheap wireless scanner and it worked perfectly.
