Is there anyway to slow down the barcode scanner as it scans so quickly and can accidentally scan the UPC code of the item I’m trying to scan on accident. It seems to pick up anything in its view immediately.

What about a smaller view window?

I imagine that would help. Is there anyway to add a pop up window that displays barcode and then you click submit to enter?

Not really for the barcode scanner. I mean, when it is active, it scan right away…
