How do I configure a USB barcode scanner to allocate barcodes?

Summary

The defaults for the Barcode scanners we at Catalyst supply only read scanned barcode by default, if the barcode does not link to a stock code it only enters the unallocated barcode number on the screen.

It is possible to change this to allow the scanner to pop up and ask the user for which Platinum stock code the scanned barcode relates to.
