      Using a connected USB or Bluetooth scanner

      Using external scanners

      You can use a connected 2D barcode scanner which is connected via USB or BlueTooth to your laptop. Just put your cursor in a text box in the web app and scan the asset label of the Item or Kit to find it back easily.

       

      Scanner support

      Our web app supports USB / BlueTooth barcode scanners which:

      • Support HID mode since they simply emulate a keyboard.

      • Support 2D barcodes, if you want to scan our QR codes

      • Support 1D barcodes, if you only want to scan simple barcodes

      Recommended scanners

      You can choose any scanner that matches the requirements above, but we've had great results with these:

      • OPTICON - OPI-3301i
        which is a Bluetooth connected scanner

      • OPTICON - OPI3601
        which is an affordable USB connected scanner

      How do I know if my scanner is supported?

      You can try to scan directly to a text file to see if the code looks correct. If it's not correct, you may need to take a look at the country or language settings of your 2D scanner.
