A barcode scanner lets you automatically add products with assigned barcodes to the cart. It can also be used to sell physical gift cards, redeem existing ones, and link SKUs to current products.
Step 1: Set Up & Pair Device
1
Ensure your Inateck BCST-70 barcode scanner is fully charged and powered on. We recommend keeping the User Guide handy during setup.
Digital barcodes displayed on phones, computers or tablets cannot be read. The barcodes shown on this page are for reference only. You can find and print a copy of the manual from the Inateck website.
2
Scan the Enter Setup and Bluetooth Pairing barcodes in the User Guide.
3
Navigate to your iPad settings, select Bluetooth pair the barcode scanner. The scanner will show up as BCST-70. The barcode scanner will beep once the Bluetooth connection is successful.
If Bluetooth connection is disrupted, the barcode scanner will sound two short tones.
4
To add more barcode types, scan the [Enter Setup] barcode and use the Function Setup Barcodes page.
Common barcode types like Code 128, Code 39 and UPC are preloaded in the default setting of the scanner.

When finished adding the barcodes, make sure to save your changes by scanning the Exit with Save barcode.
