SYMBOL LS2208 Carriage Return (Enter) Function Activation

The SYMBOL LS2208 barcode scanner is not programmed out-of-the-box to perform a carriage return function after each scan. A carriage return (aka enter key) is generally needed to bring the cursor down after each scan or (in certain POS software and inventory applications) to bring a cursor to the next data field. A carriage return function will increase overall scanning productivity for any POS or inventory system and is normally a required functionality for most users.
