Summary
This article explains how to remove spaces from barcodes when you are using Metrologic barcode scanners.
More Information
The default for the 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 here to download a PDF Document of the configuration barcodes that will change your barcode scanner to ignore any spaces within barcodes.
 | 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. |
