Using a barcode scanner

With a barcode scanner, you add a product to the receipt by scanning it. Any barcode scanner works, as long as it is connected directly to the computer you use as the register.

Turn on the barcode scanner for a register

1. Go to POS > Registers and click the pencil icon next to the register.

2. Select Scanmode.

3. Click Save.

Add barcodes to your products

1. Go to POS > Products and open the product.

2. Under Scancode, do one of the following:

   • Click in the field and scan the barcode that is already on the product.

   • Click Generate code to create your own barcode. This button works once the product is saved.

3. Click Save.

To print your own barcodes as labels, open the product group and click Download barcodes. You get the barcodes of all products in that group.

Scan products during a sale

1. In the open register, turn on the Barcode scanner toggle.

2. Scan a product. It's added to the receipt. Each scan adds one more.

Turn off the toggle when you are not selling, so you don't add products by accident.

Good to know

• Why does the register say the scanned barcode is unknown? No product has this barcode yet. Add the barcode to the product in POS > Products.

• Which barcodes can I use? A barcode needs at least 4 characters, and each barcode can only belong to one product.

• What if I scan a product too many times? Click the pencil icon next to the product on the receipt, and change the amount.
