Delete barcode information for a specific file for LFH9600 and LFH9620

Barcodes scanned with the scanner module LFH9294 can now be removed from the DSS file. Currently incorrectly scanned codes can only be replaced with new barcodes. This enhancement allows the option to remove a barcode from the DSS file header.

 

This is useful when an incorrect code has been scanned in error and there is no correct code available.

 To delete the barcode information stored in the file header follow this procedure…

 

• Press the BARCODE button without pointing to any barcode. In this state the right smart button displays DELETE.
• By pressing DELETE for 1 second the user can then delete the current barcode  information stored on the DPM.

SOLVED PROBLEM:

 

 Delete part of a recoding

To delete a section of a recording two markers need to be set through selecting the Delete section mode in the Main Menu. In rare cases, when one of the two delete-position-markers was set to the very end of the file, it could happen that after the execution of the delete section function an old parts of a previous recorded job was audible. This firmware fixes this problem.
