He writes the barcode as a number to that place or in that box of a program or file to which the cursor is. It is factory configured to he the field virtually confirmed after reading ("automatic interlacing" that trigger the Enter key - or whatever you want to call it technically correct), so you need only focus on scanning, typing thus automatically covered and the entry field for the next scan is free again.
There are already stored the main barcode formats. This is not sufficient, then the barcode scanner can also be programmed accordingly. So I have, however, made no experience, likely for the user 08/15 but not be quite so easy.
The barcode scanner is well made from plastic and. It is light and fits comfortably in your hand.
Scanning goes quite quickly, even through films, and as far as I can judge it completely free of errors. In rare cases, there are problems to read the bar code and then there are repeated attempts necessary. Still, I find it ideal for home use and am very satisfied with his performance. He gambled a ***** star rating, however in that it remarkably often has problems with very small and narrow optical barcodes, which he read out and refused entirely times.
Summary: barcode scanner is ready for immediate use without additional program installation. Scanning goes quite quickly, even through slides. For private use ideal (in my case, for reading DVD in a DVD archive program) and I'm very happy with it. Weakness he shows though in very small and narrow optical barcodes, which he read out and refused entirely times.
