Frequently Asked Questions

Barcode Scanner

1. Does an on-screen keyboard still work the same time when Arkscan barcode scanner is paired with an IOS device?

Yes, you can double-click the scan button to toggle back and forth betwee/n the Arkscan barcode scanner and the on-screen keyboard. Another option is to scan a barcode "ENABLE iOS HOTKEY' and 'DISABLE iOS HOTKEY" to toggle between the Arkscan barcode scanner and the on-screen keyboard.

2. Can I pair Arkscan barcode scanners with more than one device?

Arkscan barcode scanners can memorize only one paired device. If you paired a second device, the first device pairing will be deactivated. Example: You paired you’re iPhone 5S (first device) with the barcode scanner, and two hours later you pair your iPad (second device) with the barcode scanner and you decide to change your mind, and you want to switch back to use the iPhone 5S (first device), you will experience your iPhone 5S (first device) will not work with the barcode scanner which is the expected result. The paired information with iPhone 5S (first device) was overwritten by your iPad (second device). In order to fix this issue, you have to pair your iPhone 5S (first device) again in order to use iPhone 5S. Rule of thumb, use the barcode scanner with one paired device. If you change or switch back to a device, you must always pair the barcode scanner to the device again.

5. Why are there missing characters (and/or data) when I scan?

In some cases, your host device may not pick up all of the characters that were scanned Using your barcode scanner. The most common cause for this is because the barcode scanner is sending data faster than the speed in which the host device can read it. To remedy this issue, downlload the "Intercharacter Delay Barcodes" sheet and our recommended speed is "16mS". Visit the download page for your barcode scanner and under the download tab, you can find the barcode list for Intercharacter Delay where you can change the speed.
