@cardtraders ;
I could be wrong but the 5.41.0088 sounds more like the operating systems Version and not Squares latest version. My Square for retail version is 6.28.5. If you select More > Support > About … This will give you the version of Square you are using. Even when I looked at my version of 6.28.5 it is showing there is an Update available for Square .

I see on the Zebra Forum there have been others with there scanners not working for certain Barcodes ie Code 39.

You have to Enable code 39 for your Scanner. I am not sure which Barcodes are working for you. I am not sure which Barcode font is on the UPC barcode that will not scan. To figure that out download an app called Barcode reader generator and scan the barcode that reads and does not read with the LS2208. See if there is a different Barcode Font. They may visually look alike but could be different.
Resetting your Scanner is not as easy as just Unplugging the USB, sometimes you need to scan a Reset Barcode.
Here is the FULL LS2208 Manual from Zebra. : https://www.zebra.com/content/dam/zebra_new_ia/en-us/manuals/barcode-scanners/ls2208-product-referen…
1) Chapter 7 Is for USB interface and Page 45 has the Reset to factory Barcode.

2) Page 109 USB HID Display Keyboard
3) page 110 select your language Keyboard.
What I am guessing is Square prints barcodes in Barcode Font 128 for example and the Barcode you are trying to read is Font 93 for example. You may need to enable this by reading through the Zebra forums on how to enable this. Or if the Barcode you scan with the Barcode/generator App tells you its a Barcode XYZ you may need to figure out how to get the LS2208 to read that font. SInce the Scanner is reading SOME barcodes and not others it could be a Barcode font issue. Basically if someone gave me a book written in Italian to read I would be clueless, but my neighbor can read it fine.
Hope this helps 🙂
