  • Ability to select local printers when using a shared database
  • Better compatibility with different models of bar code scanners
  • Corrects an issue with workers not getting checked in when the worker's bar code is scanned
  • Allows bar codes to be 10 characters rather than limited to 5 characters (for better compatibility with key tags)
