Pick et al.:

        We have had a similar experience with erroneous readings. They occur
extremely infrequently and are usually not repeated (i.e., erase the error,
rescan, and you get the correct reading). Usually the erroneous scan is
something like ".3498756" where the number has no apparent relationship to
the barcode number.
