 Some non compliant device like tag readers, have implemented to use raw hex code.
 Please refer to a hex ascii table to set your code. Example: http://www.asciitable.com/
 
+Here is a small Python program than will take numbers on the command line and print the correct sequence for compliant devices:
+
+```python
+#! /usr/bin/python3
+import sys
+
+translations = {}
+
+for x in range(0, 10):
+    translations["%s" % x] = "\\x3%s" % x
+
+for c in sys.argv[1]:
+    print(translations[c], end='')
+```
