Test Barcode Scanner
You can test the barcode scanner with a testing application that is exclusively for this use. You can check the USB compatibility and its functionality with the test application.
- Go to QuickBooks download the Barcode scanner tester.
- On the downloads folder on your computer find and installed the software. (Note: This is a small software and does not require too much installation time. Once the installation begins, do not shut the installation.)
- Copy the sentence that is written in the empty field on the barcode tester to the first empty field.
- Go to the second text and run a scanner to scan any barcode. A barcode authentication is not required at this step.
- Click on “Test” and as soon as the tester identifies the scanner, left-click to the “next” tab and move to the next step.
- At this step, a text box will pop up on your screen.
If you see a bar code at this step, this means that the test is successful and you start using the barcode. If nothing appears on the screen, use the “test” tab one more time to re-run the barcode again.
- Open QuickBooks and go to “transaction”.
- Scan an item with your barcode scanner that is connected to your QuickBooks account.
- An item should pop up under new transactions in your QuickBooks
