Switching focus after scan

After scanning into a field I want the focus to switch to the next field on a form. Currently I scan and the data appears in the field but I have to press the ENTER key on my device to move the focus. Is this possible in TracerPlus or likely to be a device characteristic?

Hi David,

What type of device are you using?

On many Android devices with build in barcode readers, the reader is controlled by a barcode application running in the background. Commonly called a barcode wedge application. Take a look on your device for this. You should be able to add an Enter key suffix at the end of the barcode data, which will push the cursor to the next field on your TracerPlus form. This applies to Windows based devices as well.

Let us know if this helps.

Hi Howard - most certainly does help, thanks!!! It is an old DataLogic Memor device which I inherited. It actually works quite nicely but I had to dig deep to find the appropriate device setting despite a few previous attempts!! Am happy now - thanks again.
