Scan Mode lets you use your camera to scan barcodes or manually enter them, allowing you to input any lot with a Universal Product Code (UPC) on it.
To get to the Scan Mode page, click Scan Mode in the upper right corner.
The Scan Mode page is broken up into three adjustable columns:
Lot List: This shows all current lots. You can learn more about it here: Using the Lots List & Selection Menu
Scan Mode: This is where new lots are input and where your camera view is.
Details: When a lot is selected, the details column is where information is input. You can learn more about it here: Using the Details Column
Further, when a lot is selected, the Selection Menu will appear. You can learn about it as part of the Lots List here: Using the Lots List & Selection Menu
