The reason I ask for the manufacturer is that many use different code
sequences:
For that code to work with a Welch-Allyn or HHP scanner, the code for
*<>Empcode>Tab Enter Alt L* would be:
*<Emp ID>$I$A$CL$D*
For that code to work with a Worthington scanner, the code for
*<>Empcode>Tab Enter Alt L* would be:
*<Emp ID>??$M%DL%E* ??= Don't remember the tab code for this scanner.
Could be $I not sure.
This kind of issue is the reason why I suggest the brand name readers to
my customers. Symbol (just bought by Motorola), Hand Held Products
(formerly Welch-Allyn) and the like, have good documentation and an
excellent lifespan. My preference has always been the 3800LR (which has
been retired and replaced with the 3800g).

Charlie was probably on the right track.
Have you tried scanning the bar codes using Notepad or better yet -
an application that allows you to flip between ASCII and HEX (I use
winVI).
This will allow you to see what the scanner is actually reading.
That said: I'd like to add that you need to have FULL code 39 (it
might be called enhanced code 39) activated on the scanner. The
normal code 39 that is typically the default only supports a limited
set of letters and numbers.
Make that change and try scanning again.
