- On the Sell screen, tap the barcode button next to the search field.
- The first time, the till asks to use the camera. Allow it.
- Hold the barcode inside the scan frame. The till reads it and adds the item to the sale.
Options in the scan frame
- Torch turns the phone's light on and off, on phones that allow it.
- Keep scanning keeps the camera open after each read, for scanning many items in a row. Each read adds the item once, with a short pause so the same box is not counted twice by accident.
- The phone vibrates on each read where it can. A short beep is off by default; turn it on in More, then Scanning.
Codes the till reads
EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39, ITF and QR.
If an item is not added
- No item has barcode 6291041500213. Add it in the full app. The code is not on any item yet. Add it to the item's barcode field, then scan again.
- If the branch has none of the item left, the till says so and adds nothing.
- If camera access was refused, allow it in the phone's settings for Chrome or the Diwaan Cashier app.
On Chrome for Android the till uses the phone's built-in barcode reader. On other browsers it downloads its own reader the first time, about 400 KB, and keeps it on the phone afterwards.
