    Barcode Scanner - The cursor jumps a row in a Microsoft Excel worksheet.

    Hello.
    I hope I'm in the correct section (I've posted here because I've seen this http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...e-scanner.html ).

    I have at my job 2 barcode scanners and I try to use them in order to import some data in to a Microsoft Excel worksheet.
    One of the scanners works the way I want: after the barcode is scanned it inputs the data in the right column (column D in my case) from the excel worksheet and the cursor goes down a row on the same column.
    The other barcode scanner does almost the same thing except that after it inputs the data in to the table the cursor goes down 2 rows on the same column.

    Can someone tell me how to fix this problem?
    Thank you in advance for your time.

    Scanners are configurable as to what goes at the end of the line; you might read the manual or contact the manufacturer.

    It is just a simple USB "plug and play" barcode scanner ... it does not have any software so I don't have no way to configure it. The model is Honeywell Hyperion 1300g

    Here's the manual: http://www.honeywellaidc.com/Catalog...%20Rev%20C.pdf. You can change the characters that it appends to the scan.
