Can I insert a code manually, even if I have picked automatic creation option for barcodes?

Can I use my phone to scan?

Yes. We don’t offer a native app to do that to scan, but we can recommend this one or any similar app:

Any similar app can work too. Basically they make sure that you can use your phone as a barcode scanner.

These kind of apps generally work in a similar way:

  1. Make sure the phone and the computer are both connected to the same wi-fi network. This is required to use your phone as a scanner.
  2. Install the app in your computer to create the server that will be hosting the scanning sessions.
  3. Install the app on your phone, open it and start using it to scan. Your phone will be now working as a barcode scanner.
