Setup your scanner on your computer if you are using a barcode scanner
The computer basically thinks that the scanner is a keyboard that types in a number or characters (the barcode) into the barcode field.
- Plug the scanner into your tablet/PC - the tablet will recognise it and it will appear in the devices area (where you see printers, keyboards etc) as a keyboard
- Note that the scanner must be configured to send an ENTER character after doing a scan - so you do not have to press enter on the keyboard.
- Then in our System go to System > Settings > Devices and click on the one that has VID in the number (Virtual Device ID)
- Your keyboard scanner should now work ok
Has the scanner already be configured to send a suffix of Enter ?
