Frequently Asked Questions

- How does the scanner work?
- The basic idea is that the scanner acts as an automatic keyboard. You have to click where you want the data to be written.
- Each time you scan a barcode, it will transmit the data as if you were typing on a keyboard.
- Your device will recognize the scanner as a keyboard.
- Please note that this will not impact your keyboard’s functionality.
- Will ScanAvenger barcode scanners work with any Inventory Management Software?
- Your ScanAvenger barcode scanner will work with most Inventory Management Software. That being said, some Inventory Management Software developers restrict what barcode scanners will work. We recommend checking their website for more information.
