Many barcode scanners are configured to automatically send an Enter key (carriage return) after each scan to submit data. If this behavior is not required, you can disable it to prevent automatic line breaks or submissions.
Note:
- The Enter key is typically configured as a suffix (CR or CR+LF).
- Disabling it will prevent automatic submission or line breaks after scanning.
- If needed, you can re-enable it by scanning the corresponding “Add Enter” or “CR Suffix” barcode.
Issue / Question
