Scanners, Printers & Scales

Make sure the item's barcode identifies the correct product or variant in your store's catalogue. Use Products, Inventory & Categories for product setup. A scanner lookup uses those shared records; it does not create a new catalogue product.

Return to the bill screen and move focus out of text-entry fields. Scan the barcode with its Enter suffix. Check the item and quantity added to the bill. If the scanner is entering text in a field, use the manual lookup steps below instead of assuming the bill was updated.

Open Search and toggle Beep on scan (it reads Beep on a phone, 480 px wide or narrower; in the phone catalogue's one-row search bar it is an icon-only speaker button with that same name, tinted when on and crossed when off) if you want scan feedback. That switch is the only scan-sound control; More has no scan-sound entry (its order-sound toggle is for online-order arrivals). Sound is optional; use the bill row as your confirmation. Correct a wrong addition with Undo last item or the item's Remove action before taking payment.

Select Search to open Search or scan. Type a product name to inspect matches and select the right item. Type a code and press Enter to look it up when there is no name match.

With Big buttons on, choose Scan, enter Enter barcode, then select Add item or press Enter. Find an item opens name search instead. Cancel leaves this task without adding an item.

If the barcode is unknown, check the code before using Add scanned product. The inline form keeps Scanned barcode read-only and lets you enter the product name, rupee price and optional GST rate, then Save product and add to bill. This creates or reuses a permanent catalogue product; it is separate from a permitted free-text amount line. Follow Counter Billing & Tenders for limits and safe retry steps. If lookup failed, retry it instead of treating the barcode as unknown. Cancel closes the product form; Close exits ordinary search.

Open Search, then select Scan with camera when that action is shown. Allow camera access and hold the barcode in view. POS uses the rear camera when the browser supports it.

After detection, the camera closes and POS performs the same code lookup as the scanner. Check the bill and variant before scanning another item. Select Close to stop the camera manually.

Complete the sale, then select Print on the paid result. There is no preview screen in between: the browser print dialog opens straight away, or as soon as the receipt has finished loading if it was still loading. Select View receipt instead when you only want to read the receipt on screen. If the receipt says Receipt ready. Invoice number to follow., the document is provisional; check again when you need its finalized invoice number.

In the browser dialog, choose your installed printer, check paper settings and print. Inspect the physical print before handing it to the customer. If you close the dialog without printing, POS still counts the bill as printed on this device (see the reprint note below).

Open the quiet Print options button under Print. 58 mm and 80 mm choose the paper width; the choice is remembered on this device, so set it once per till. Language picks the printed language (it starts as the cashier's language and is also remembered on this device), and Document copy picks Original document or Duplicate of original document the first time a bill is printed; once this device has printed the bill, the list is locked to Duplicate of original document and Original document is no longer offered. Choose the options first, then select Print. See Receipt Languages for the 8 POS languages.

In Orders, Today, each paid sale has a Print button on its row, and each bill in a customer's history has one too. Each opens the receipt and goes straight to the print dialog. Reprinting a bill that has already been printed always prints a Duplicate of original document; there is no Original document choice. On a paid sale's received screen, Document copy is greyed out on Duplicate of original document once this device has printed that bill. This memory is kept per browser on each device (the last 500 printed bills): another till, another browser or the admin panel does not see it, and clearing site data resets it, so a device with no record of the print still offers Original document on that screen before its first print. The receipt opened from View receipt on a paid sale in Orders, and the Print button on an order's row, are always reprints: the Document copy list shows only Duplicate of original document and is greyed out, whatever this device printed before. The original is the copy printed when the sale was first completed; a reprint cannot be switched back to it.
