  • Android

Before you scan

  • Make sure a PRO license is active.
  • Configure the scanner as an HID keyboard device.
  • Configure the scanner to send a newline or Enter after each barcode.

Connect and scan

  1. Pair the external barcode scanner with the mobile device.
  2. Open the inventory you want to work with.
  3. Scan the barcode with the external scanner.

What happens in each screen

The scanning result depends on the screen that currently has focus.
ScreenResult
Products listIf the barcode exists, the product is identified and the app opens the input area. If the barcode is missing, the app creates a new product with the scanned barcode.
Product area -> DetailsThe scanned barcode is added to the product barcode field.
Product area -> Add entry / CounterIf the barcode exists, the app switches to the matching product. If it does not exist, the app creates a new product with the scanned barcode.

Notes

  • Most scanners already send a newline or Enter suffix by default, but check the scanner manual if scanning does not trigger the expected action.
  • The same scanner can behave differently depending on the app screen you are using.
