Testing Your Barcode Scanner
Most barcode scanners are compatible with EasyScan, but it’s always a good idea to test your scanner first.
Plug the scanner into your computer, or connect it via Bluetooth.
Now open a text editor, such as Notepad, TextEdit, or even Microsoft Word or Excel.
Type a line into the editor, and press enter. Now scan a barcode using the scanner. You should see the string of digits represented by the barcode appear on the screen.
If you can’t see a string of digits, you scanner may not be connected properly, or there may be an issue with it. If possible, try the same process with another scanner or connected to another deivce.
