Bar code scanner - Automatically advance to next line

Automatically drop down to the next product line when scanning multiple serial numbers of the same product, as it would in Excel.

This feature would be a game changer for efficiency! Automatically advancing to the next line when scanning multiple serial numbers would save so much time and reduce errors. It reminds me of my experience with the rice purity test, where seamless transitions can really enhance the process. I hope this gets implemented soon!

I tested this today and it works as expected with my scanner that I have available, a NADAMOO. Likely your scanner is missing a setting, or it is disabled, for an "auto-enter" for the "suffix". Terminology may vary between scanners. From the UG for my test scanner:
Q5. Is there any barcodes to remove auto-enter after every scanning?
Answer:
To remove the auto-enter, please read the code “disable suffix” on page 29.

Seth: I have tested this with multiple scanners and it works as expected. I can scan serial numbers only (by disabling MAC) without touching the keyboard. I can also scan serial number and MAC. The cursor automatically moves from one field to the next.

Can you set up the scanner to put a 'Tab' character at the end of scan? It worked for me
