Scan barcode in menu screen

Hi guys there are some way to scan a barcode in menu and not press enter to show the product name and price? Now when I scan for example a juice can after scan I have to press enter to show the product.
Thanks

Are you talking about adding a product to the ticket?

Either way if youre having to press enter after scanning its probably because your scanner isnt setup with carriage return after scanning

Youll need to check the documents that came with the scanner to find the correct settings to set it up to automatically “enter” after scanning

No that’s not a Sambapos issue.

If you have the brand and model of the scanner, search online for the user manual. In the manual there will likely be configuration barcodes that you scan to set things like entering a CR (i.e. pressing enter) after each scan. You can also test by scanning into notepad and you will see if it sends a CR then each barcode scanned is on a new line, if not then they just follow on from each other on same line.

But like Kendash said, this is a scanner hardware issue and not related to SambaPOS. There is nothing you can do in SambaPOS to make it work, you just need to change the settings on the scanner. If all else fails, just buy a cheap barcode scanner online, there are many reliable ones available on Amazon or similar for $20 USD or less.

This could be possible with the new key code field in the Set Numberpad Value action, 13 is the code for carriage return so possibly{NUMBERPAD}13 may work in that field although i suspect it wont accept the {NUMBERPAD} as this field was specifically added for the key codes.

It would probably just be easier to buy a new cheap scanner or find the settings online as setup your scanner with CR as advised above
