How to Set Up Your Scanner for Your POS Device
Setting up your scanner for your POS device is quick and easy. Most scanners are plug-and-play, meaning they should work immediately after being connected.
Step 1: Connect Your Scanner
Depending on your scanner type, follow these steps:
- USB Scanner: Plug the scanner into an available USB port on your POS device. It should be recognized automatically.
- Bluetooth Scanner:
- Turn on your scanner and set it to pairing mode (refer to the scanner’s manual for instructions).
- On your POS device, go to Bluetooth settings and search for available devices.
- Select your scanner from the list and pair it.
Once connected, your scanner should be ready to use.
Step 2: Adjust Scanner Settings (If Needed)
Our POS system does not require any special characters at the start or end of a barcode scan. However, some scanners may have this enabled by default or may have been configured for another system.
If barcodes are not scanning correctly, check your scanner’s settings:
- Refer to your scanner’s manual to disable prefix/suffix characters if they are enabled.
- Reset your scanner to its factory default settings if it was previously used with another POS system.
Step 3: Test Your Scanner

Once your scanner is working, you’re all set to start scanning barcodes in your POS system!
