Make your life easier with the POS barcode scanner. You do not have to search sales items manually. Just point your camera at the barcode and the sales item is selected automatically. Nowadays almost all mobile devices or tablets have a camera. Let’s use it as a handy mobile barcode scanner.

- Open drawer menu (top left corner).
- “Settings”.
- “Company settings”.
- “Sales items”.
- Select sales item you want to modify. Or create a new one.

Scanning the barcode
Go to “SCANNER” tab. Point your camera at the barcode. When the sales item is recognized, the name of the sales item appears below the camera view. If you want to increase the amount, simply press the button several times. Or swipe to the “CALCULATOR” tab. On the “CALCULATOR” tab you can multiply the price with the specific amount. If you have any problem with the camera, please restart it with the grey button on the right side of the screen.
