Scanning Barcodes
Scan items as follows:
1.
Click
Scan
in the ICS software. The red scanner light pulses for 10 seconds.
2.
Hold the barcode on the item in front of the barcode reader. When the scanner reads
the barcode, it automatically fills in the barcode information. The ICS accepts a
barcode in the 2D Data Matrix format, which allows up to 96 characters of text. You
may hear a subtle beep tone from the instrument when the barcode is accepted. If the
scanner does not read the barcode, the ICS software displays a message and allows
you to enter the barcode manually.
