## Usage for GS1 Multiple Barcodes Scanner

In the activity form, the scanner **camera will stay open** until you manually close it by **clicking the "Close Scanner" button.**

This is particularly useful when you need to scan multiple barcodes to fill in fields that correspond to each scanned item.

* For example, if your form requires several pieces of information from different barcodes, the scanner will remain active, allowing you to quickly scan one after another without having to reopen it each time.

On the other hand, when using item Barcode or GS1 Barcode Scanner, the scanner will automatically close after each scan.
