Options

 

There are two ways that barcodes can be read into the current worksheet. The options are:

 

1. Automatically read barcodes into the Visible Id column for the current row.
 
2. Read barcodes into the active cell.

 

The option is set through the Tools menu > Preferences > Barcodes tab.

 

 

Operation

 

To read a barcode, first select the row for the RFID tag that you want to associate a barcode, then tap the Tools menu > Read Barcode.

 

The reader will be switched to barcode reading mode, and you can scan a barcode by pressing the trigger.

 

Once read, the barcode will be inserted into the Visible Id cell or the active cell for the selected row, depending on the barcode scanning option described above.

 

 

Notes

 

Please note that if the "Read barcodes into the active cell" option is selected, the Tools menu > Read Barcode menu item will be disabled if the active cell is not writeable. This can happen if the active cell is on one of these columns: Rfid Tag, Last Scan, and Used Id.
