View source for How do I delete spaces from barcodes?

== Summary ==
This article explains how to remove spaces from barcodes when you are using {{eCommerce|sku=barcode|Metrologic barcode scanners}}.

== More Information ==
The default for the {{eCommerce|sku=barcode|Metrologic barcode scanners}} is to scan the barcode exactly as it appears, however some suppliers use barcodes which include a leading space. When you scan these barcodes in Platinum, the stock code will not be found.

* It is possible to change this so the leading space is removed from the scanned barcode.

Click [[media:Scanner_Configuration.pdf|here]] to download a PDF Document of the configuration barcodes that will change your barcode scanner to ignore any spaces within barcodes.

{{Warning|text=This will remove all spaces from all barcodes that you scan, not just leading spaces so ensure that you have no other barcodes that need to keep the spaces.}}
