DataWedge in the browser: fix scans in a web app

You set the scanner up, tested it in a notes app, and every barcode typed in perfectly. Then you scanned into the web app you actually work in and the SKU came up two characters short — or scrambled. It is not the label and it is not the scanner. A fast scanner can outrun a browser field, and characters get lost on the way in. One DataWedge setting stops it for good. This walkthrough shows exactly where that setting lives on the handheld, screen by screen, plus the supporting choices that keep Ordovee scanning quick on a device the whole crew shares.
