Hand Scanner for Pickware POS

To use the Hand Scanner as a barcode scanner in the POS app, you first need to set the scanner to iOS mode and then connect it via Bluetooth using the general settings of your iPad / iPod. Please note that for this, the scanner must not be connected to the iPad/iPod via Bluetooth.

Switch on the scanner and check that the barcode capture laser is visible when the scan button is pressed.
Scan the following barcode to put the scanner into iOS mode. After a successful scan, the scanner will beep three times.
Open the Bluetooth settings on your iPad/iPod. After a short search, the scanner should be found and you can connect it to your iPad/iPod. The scanner setup is now complete.

By default, the scanner goes into standby mode after five minutes of not being used and must then first reconnect to the iPad when reactivated. The scanner manufacturer offers an alternative mode in which the scanner remains active for eight hours. Simply scan the barcode below. The battery will discharge more quickly with this setting, so remember to charge the scanner daily.

Note: For more information on operating the POS Hand Scanner, please refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer.
