http://www.modul-bio.com/media/Symbol_LS2208_Manual.pdf

Scan the following barcodes in order and it will add a tab to the end of the barcode you scan.


Scan "Scan Options" Pg 13-6
Scan "<Data><Suffix>" Pg 13-7
Scan "Scan Suffix>" Pg 13-5
Scan "7" Pg Appendix D-3
Scan "0" Pg Appendix D-1
Scan "0" Pg Appendix D-1
Scan "9" Pg Appendix D-4
Scan "Enter" Pg 13-8


You should now have a tab at the end of any barcodes you scan. Hope this helps!

You need scan software running on your computer. It won't scan unless it knows how to scan and where to send the scanned image. The scan options will be on your computer.

You need to install the HP Scan software on each and every PC the MFP should scan to. In this software, you can create targets for the "Scan To" button. But: This is only useful when scanning with the ADF, because when scanning from the flatbed, you'd need for every page to hit the "Scan To"-button, press "Scan", wait for about a minute or two until the MFP has found the appropriate PC, and wait for the scan. So network scanning is unfortunately very limited with this machine.

By default, the HP all-in-one sends all scans to the HP Photo & Imaging Gallery for you to preview. Suppose that you want to scan your photos directly to email instead. To do this you will need to modify the destination assigned to the front panel scan button. Here is how to do it:

1. If you have not already done so, open the HP Director and click Settings , point to Scan Settings & Preferences , and click Scan to… Setup . The Button Settings dialog box appears, with the Destination List tab on top. The HP all-in-one automatically inventories your computer and lists all the possible scan destinations for you in the Available Scan Destinations list.
2. Using our example of scanning directly to email, select the Email destination in the Front Panel Destination List and click the Move arrow to move it to the top of the listing.
3. Click OK to save the new destination setting and close the dialog box. All of the scans you do using the HP all-in-one front panel buttons will now be sent directly to your email program, instead of to the HP Photo & Imaging Gallery.
4. Click Scan Picture or Scan Document in the HP Director to scan using your new settings, or click a Scan button on the HP all-in-one front panel.
