Byte Stream from Barcode Scanner

Does anybody know how i can access the byte stream returned by the scanner

I'm trying to encode byte data of a file onto the barcode. However, am not sure if the barcode itself leave out ASCII character code 128 and above or there's something wrong with how i read the data back (via the keypress event of an empty form, i just translate the KeyValue to its byte value).

I tried testing with the full 0-255 ASCII characters with no luck. Data I read back has a lot of bytes missing.

So am wondering if i can access the raw byte data from the barcode scanner. Currently using Symbol P304

THanks!

    finally got it :) had to work with a new scanner instead. one that goes through a serial port and i had to communicate with that port. this is pretty good stuff, especially if you're storing byte data :)
