Barcode reading

📦 In order to use the barcode scanning functionality, you must have a device equipped with a camera or a barcode reader (USB, Bluetooth).

⚙️ Enable the feature

🛠️ Navigate in CONFIG > GENERAL OPTIONS, then check the “Barcodes” option in the paragraph Hardware.

Simply install the Cash Register app on your Android device.

Scanning is done via the camera. Make sure there is sufficient lighting and that the code is centered.

🧩 Barcode scanners work like a keyboard: they type in the code followed by an Enter key.

💻 You can test that it works properly in a word processing program.

The presence of accented characters indicates a character set configuration problem.

🔄 Solutions for bad encoding:

📚 Scan the special codes provided by the manufacturer to configure the language/keyboard
🌍 Change the system input language (e.g., switch to English keyboard)

✅ Press the "Read Barcode" button or the space bar on the keyboard to indicate that the next entry is a barcode.

This allows the software to correctly interpret the scanned data, without triggering keyboard shortcuts.

In addition to items, the system allows barcodes to be scanned for: customers, users, departments, discounts, etc.

Prefix	Type	Description
$0	Items	Adds the item to the order (can be omitted)
$1	Departments	Change the department filter on the sales interface
$2	Users	Quickly identifies a user on the checkout
$3	Clients	Associates a customer with the current order
$4	Discounts	Applies a specific discount to the order

Barcodes printed from the software automatically use these prefixes.
