not talking about a scanning a programming manual. i'm talking about
scanning the programming manual that comes with your scanner that let's you
program the scanner to do what you want. you need to look at the manual,
find the corresponding barcode that adds a cr to the scan and program the
scanner.

i scan ingredient upc's. it opens another workbook, looks up the
description, opens another formula workbook, gets the weight of the
ingredient, adds all of this information to the main workbook and then moves
to the next row for the next ingredient to be scanned.

this is all done with one simple scan of the ingredient upc.


Ahhh.... It is all clear to me now.

Since all the ME and most others here do is scan it and visually
examine the result, and I am the only one creating a print job for the
verification action, I doubt that anyone would care if I get it to
function that way.

Thanks, man. That'll work, I am certain. It would seem that at least
this industry knew how to establish and adhere to standards and
practices, so I am sure that all but the most basic scanners will have
the programmability capability that you describe.
