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:
Item List: This shows all current items. You can learn more about it here: Using the Items List & Selection Menu
Scan Mode: This is where new items are input and where your camera view is.
Details: When an item is selected, the details column is where information is input. You can learn more about it here: Using the Details Column
Further, when an item is selected, the Selection Menu will appear. You can learn about it as part of the Items List here: Using the Items List & Selection Menu

There are two ways to use Scan Mode:
