position. Select Next Sample. Repeat until all samples are loaded.

If there are less than 16 samples, select Final Sample when all samples are loaded. This will open the Verify

Scanned Data screen. This screen allows you to review the data. If any incorrect data are identified for a

sample, you can use the navigation buttons to return to the Bar code Input screen where Position 01 will be

shown. Use Next Sample to navigate to the required sample, and add the appropriate information.
