"Scan to add book" question

Hi everyone, I just got a new barcode scanner (wireless and all) but I have a question.

When using the CueCat scanner, whenever I search for a book, in the "Add book" section of LT, it automatically adds it to my library. However if I scan it with this new scanner, it seems to only search for the book but doesn't automatically add it to my library, I have to manually click on the link and that makes the process considerably slower.

Is there a way to get the same behaviour as the CueCat?

that is likely to be a scanner setting. I had to read the manual that came with my scanner and "program" it to behave the way I wanted it to.
