Recover from a wrong or interrupted scan
Recognise missing zeroes and unfinished input, then recover with a complete new scan.
For operators
Recognise missing zeroes and unfinished input, then recover with a complete new scan.
Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.
Recover from a wrong or interrupted scan
- Start the scanner field
Start the scanner field.
The scan box is ready. Scans go only to the focused box. The practice inputs here are simulated.
- Try a value with missing zeroes
Try a value with missing zeroes.
The shorter value does not match. Do not shorten codes or copy this result into the expected value to make it pass.
- Scan the complete example value
Scan the complete example value.
Every character matches the selected expected value, including the zeroes. A text match alone does not prove print quality or optical scanning.
- Enter only part of a value
Enter only part of a value.
This value has not been finished. Do not treat a partly received value as a complete scan.
- Move away from the unfinished scan
Move away from the unfinished scan.
Moving away keeps the partial input marked incomplete. Re-arm the box and scan the whole code again.
- Start the scanner field
Start the scanner field.
The scan box is ready. Scans go only to the focused box. The practice inputs here are simulated.
- Scan the complete example value
Scan the complete example value.
Every character matches the selected expected value, including the zeroes. A text match alone does not prove print quality or optical scanning.
- Stop scanner capture
Stop scanner capture.
The received values stay available for review. Stop capture before using other controls.
Use real paper measurements and keep useful evidence. This training does not qualify physical equipment.
