Complete a value without Enter

Choose manual completion, review the unfinished input, finish deliberately and stop capture.

For operators

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.

Complete a value without Enter

  1. Choose manual completion

    Choose manual completion.

    Manual completion is useful when no reliable Enter or Tab suffix arrives. Confirm that the full value has arrived before finishing it.

  2. Start capture in the focused box

    Start capture in the focused box.

    Start capture explicitly. Only this box collects keyboard input. These keystrokes are simulated; the course does not measure a physical scanner.

  3. Enter the complete value without a suffix

    Enter the complete value without a suffix.

    This prepared input stops without Enter. It remains unfinished until the real Finish scan control is used.

  4. Finish the complete scan manually

    Finish the complete scan manually.

    Manual finish records the value and leaves capture ready for another scan. It cannot turn truncated data into a correct encoded value.

  5. Stop capture deliberately

    Stop capture deliberately.

    Stopping pauses the capture box. The retained observations stay available for local review and export.
