Resolution / Answer
IBM Specification Version
The IBM USB interface specification version selected defines how code types are reported over the IBM USB interface.

Select IBM Specification Level Version 0 (Original) and default settings to send the following code types as Unknown:

• GS1 Data Matrix
• QR Code
• GS1 QR
• MicroQR Code

Select IBM Specification Level Version 2.2 to send the code types with the appropriate IBM identifiers.
