Connect Barcode Scanners

Overview

Scanner setup in DRX is input-first: when scan input lands in DRX fields, checkout and receiving become faster.

Choose hardware or camera capture based on counter setup and staff workflow.

Before you start

• You can access checkout and inventory features in DRX.
• Products are saved with barcode or SKU values.
• You have one of the following inputs:
• USB scanner
• Bluetooth scanner
• Device camera
