Cause | Solution
--- | ---
The operator scans the barcode from a wrong part. | Make sure the operator is provided with correct parts and that the parts have the correct barcode.
The barcode contains invalid characters. | Barcodes must contain only ASCII characters. Make sure there are no unusable characters in the barcodes that you scan.
The barcode terminator is not set. | Specify the barcode terminator in the scanner's settings. For example, #13#10 stands for <CR><LF> (carriage return, line feed).
The barcode is malformed. | Make sure the barcode complies with the rules of your particular system. For example, all EAN-13 barcodes must contain 13 digits.
