-As with using simple barcode scanners as described in the previous pages of the documentation, mSupply reads GS1 type barcodes with these devices. These barcodes can be in either 1D linear or 2D QR-code or datamatrix forms. Non GS1 type barcodes will be scanned successfully but ignored by mSupply.+As with using simple barcode scanners as described in the previous pages of the documentation, mSupply reads GS1 type barcodes with these devices.

 +**PLEASE NOTE:** You can also scan a barcode that does not contain a GTIN at any time. If you scan such a barcode before scanning a barcode that contains a GTIN then the scan will be ignored. If you scan it after scanning a barcode that contains a valid GTIN then any relevant information contained in the barcode (e.g. batch, expiry date etc.) will be assigned to the current supplier invoice line. If any of that informaiton exists for the line already (e.g. it already has a btach or expiry date set for it) then that information will be overridden with what was in the last barcode scanned.
 +
 +So be careful! If you mean to scan a GTIN containing the item for the next invoice line but accidentally scan a barcode that doesn't contain a GTIN, you will instead override the current invoice line's information with any information in the barcode you just scanned.
