Is a little bug?
In POS config, when I set the scanner option in "Program choose" i must to set the scanner with [F8] termination character because if i set it with an [ENTER] (like POS manual says), when bar code is coded in 8 characters, the cursor jumps to Price field. When bar code is coded in 13 characters POS works well, like manual says.
Thanks and regards

Sorry but my english couldn't be better

Javi,

The program is set so that if you pick "Program chooses" and then scan a barcode greater that 99999 that the program will assume that the stock number was scanned, not entered from the keyboard. I tried it here and any barcode I scanned that was 6 digits or greater came out correctly, I have no idea how your 8 digit barcodes did not.

If you press [F8] instead of [ENTER] after entering a stock number through the keyboard it will trick the program into thinking that the number was scanned. This means that if you set the termination character to [F8] that all scanned barcodes will be considered scanned no matter how short they are.
