Barcode With @ Symbol When Scanned Changes To " Symbol

Hi,

 

I have noticed a problem and I'm not sure how to solve it.

 

If I create a barcode with the @ Symbol in (E.g a code 128 reading @@1234), it displays the symbol on the software and when I print it out. 

However, when I try to scan the barcode it will change the symbol into a " symbol ( @@1234 --> ""1234).

 

This is probably a simple issue to sort out, but Is there a way this can be fixed?

 

(also I am trying to do this on a QR Code, and I have tested this on several barcode formats)

  The @ symbol is part of the Code 128 spec for both code set A and B.  I would imagine your barcode scanner is programmed to the wrong keyboard locale UK/US as this will result in this effect.

  Thank you.

   

  I thought it was something simple I was missing.

   

  The problem is sorted now.
