Using the Bluetooth scanner at the Sales screen of CPS Air

You can use your Bluetooth scanner to sell items at the Sales screen of CPS Air on the iPad. Before you can scan items at the Item lookup field of the Sales screen, the items must already be in your inventory and the Bluetooth scanner must be set up and connected or paired to the iPad. Then you can scan a barcode with your scanner so that it will add the product code number into the Item lookup field, which then searches for the item, and populates the item and the price to a customer’s tab so you can ring up the sale.

Note: After the initial pairing of the Bluetooth scanner, it should not need to be paired every time the iPad is turned off or the Bluetooth scanner is turned off. To learn how to pair your Bluetooth scanner, jump here>>
