Upon first utilization of your smartphone as a scanner device, you need to decide whether you will use QR codes or barcodes for identification in the future.
In case of QR codes, an #LS Prefix must be set (for the 'Barcode to PC scanning application' )  in order for the devices to function correctly.
See How to Set up the #LS Prefix for your Scanner.
