When you use a USB or Bluetooth scanner, select USB / Bluetooth as the primary scan method. Scan into Test USB/Bluetooth scanner and check that the scanned value appears before you tap Save.

When you want the POS to open the camera first, select Camera. If USB/Bluetooth is primary but staff may need camera scanning as backup, turn on Enable camera fallback.

If something goes wrong​

Scanner not reading

Verify the selected scanner input source. For USB/Bluetooth scanners, confirm the scanner sends keyboard text and Enter. For camera scanning, confirm the camera permission and camera-facing option, then retry.

When to ask manager/admin​

  • Input device remains unavailable after save
  • Required scanner option is missing
