Auto scan and auto check
Check the Auto Scan box if you are going to be scanning with a bar code reader on the device and want to increment the quantity counted by 1 each time a scan is performed.

Leave Auto Scan unchecked if you would like to enter the item name manually, select non default bins, or need to manually enter quantities. You can still scan the item by placing the cursor in the Item entry field and then scanning the bar code.
