4.2.3 Entering data via a barcode reader or a keyboard
Peripherals like a keyboard or a barcode reader can
not only speed up the sample management workflow
but improve data entry accuracy and reduce tran-
scription errors.
Using a barcode reader:
Connect the barcode reader to the PS/2 or USB
port at the rear of the device. Barcode readers can
be used to enter the following information: Sample
ID, patient ID, QC LOT number and target values or
test strip LOT number. No external power supply is
necessary.
Make sure that the used barcode reader sup-
ports ALT mode and select this mode of op-
eration before using it with the DocUReader 2
Pro device.
