Fast ISBN entries by a handheld Laser Barcode Scanner

I have discovered how to use a handheld laser barcode scanner to enter ISBN numbers (and full citations) quickly and without additional software.

Simply position the cursor in the Add Item(s) by Identifier pull-down box, aim the scanner at the ISBN number and pull the trigger. Within a couple of seconds, Zotero enters the ISBN, looks-up it up online, and enters the full citation.

(I'm using a WoneNice USB Handheld Laser Barcode Scanner purchased for $21 on Amazon. Listed as an Amazon's Choice. Using a PC with Windows 10. Have not checked other configurations.) Would be useful to include this method when Documentation is revised.
