Re: barcode scanner

[Michael D Mays]

In many cases this is true. But think about the case where you are 
scanning identical items. It would nice to be able to type 10 and then 
scan the item instead of scanning each identical item. Suppose you want 
to route the item somewhere. You need to be able to enter the routing 
information. How about using a scanner to log in? You would probably 
want to type a password.

If you just want to scan an item and then go to the next item and scan 
it, then not being able to tell where the input is from is fine. But in 
all the other cases you probably just want the scanned information 
going to a specific field (container) and it would be nice not to have 
to force the focus to that field with an addition mouseclick or tab(s) 
etc.

This is not normally a problem.  One would typically want the ability 
to key in the same data being scanned in the instance that the scanner

inaccessible or poorly conditioned barcode), so this overlap would 
actually make life easier.
