How to Use Continuous Scan Mode

Updated · GearChain Team

Continuous Scan Mode makes high-volume barcode scanning faster by allowing you to scan multiple items one after another without reopening the scanner each time.

Continuous scan mode helps with repeated scanning during a count or receiving session. Set up the destination form and quantity workflow before starting the batch.

Steps

  1. Open the correct form and enter the scanning workflow.
  2. Enable Continuous Scan Mode and confirm the settings shown in the scanner.
  3. Scan one sample label and check how the item and quantity are recorded.
  4. Continue through the batch while watching for repeated or unintended scans.
  5. Finish the session and compare the saved records with the items you counted or received.

Check the result

Test how repeat scans affect your records before using the mode for a complete stock count.
