When scanning with a USB enabled scanner, must I click the scan button after each scan? - Thu - Feb 5, 2015 - 2:04pm

  • If your scanner is set up properly, you will be able to rapidly scan one bar code after another, without having to press the Scan button. If you are not seeing a result immediately after the scan, your scanner may not be set up properly.

    If you purchased a new scanner, it will have come with a "Quick Start Guide". In the guide, there is a section for applying an enter (carriage return) after each scan. Usually, you can find a manual online if you find that you have misplaced yours.

    If you are using a USB-enabled scanner that you purchased from us, you may use the following links to find the "Quick Start Guide" online.

    Scan the barcode that is shown after: "Enter Key Bar Code (Carriage Return/Line Feed)"
