How to Set Up Mobile Scanners to Work with Bulloch POS
Automatically remove the check digit to ensure barcodes scan correctly
Introduction
When using Bulloch POS, the system does not accept the full UPC barcode. It requires the last digit of the code (called the "check digit") to be removed. If the scanner sends the full code, Bulloch may not recognize the item correctly or may show an error. To prevent this, the mobile scanner must be set up to automatically drop the last digit before sending the code to Bulloch.
To do this, you can either use the user manual that came with your mobile scanner, or simply print the screenshots attached to this guide and scan the correct QR code directly from the printed page.

Model EY-017
- Open the user manual that came with your scanner
