    I am trying to build a report to use with the MSCM handheld scanner. We receive a daily hard copy report from EPIC that has surgeon preference items on it to be ordered. The report does have the Lawson number on it but when I try to reformat as a barcode the handheld does not scan. I suspect there are start and stop characters along with the checksum missing. When I enter the item number on an online barcode generator the barcodes work. Am I missing something? Do we need to get one of the "addin" products to make the Crystal/Excel barcodes readable?

     

    Thanks

      Not this scenario - but a user that makes their own labels needed to put the Lawson number in between asterisks to get MSCM to read it. *LAWSONITEM* - no spaces or anything like that - just the *
