Action Taken
On May 27, 2020, the firm notified customers via Urgent Field Safety Notice letters. Product was distributed to foreign customers only. Customers were instructed to complete and return the included customer response form. Customers whose systems are not configured to use code 39 with check-digit need take no further action. However, for customers whose systems are configured to use code 39 with check-digit, the customer notice provided two workaround options: 1) Use the integrated on-board barcode scanner, or 2) Re-configure the handheld barcode scanner following the instructions in the letter.
