DCA Vantage Handheld Barcode Scanner #11306432 Model: DS4308 - HC0015BZZWW

Why it was recalled

If DCA Vantage Analyzer is configured to run Code 39 with check digit, the scanner is not confirming the integrity of read barcode data using the check digit. Also, if DCA Vantage Analyzer is configured to run Code 39 with check digit and an operator erroneously scans a Code 39 barcode without a check digit, the scanner incorrectly sends the code and the last character is removed.
