Actually there is no support for alphanumeric codes, but only numeric codes like GTIN or UPC.

Codes that should be supported:

[ ] Code 11
[ ] Code 39
[ ] Code 93
[ ] Full ASCII Code 39
[ ] Code 128
[x] UPC
[x] EAN (GTIN) / JAN
[x] Interleaved 2 of 5
[x] Industrial 2 of 5
[x] Codebar
[x] MSI / Plessey

The bug is in the key-event to char translation function keytoc: Only numeric values will be recognized.

To support all characters, that are available, there should be used a keymap-file to map any key in combination with other pressed keys (e.g. shift) to the corresponding character. (e.g. KEY_A + KEY_LSHIFT = 'A')
