Using a barcode scanner is helpful in expediting the shipping process from packing the product to printing the label. With a barcode scanner, you can simply scan the barcode on the packing slip to locate orders to be booked.
Most scanners are USB-compatible so you can plug them into any computer with a USB port. If your USB scanner came with any software, you will want to install the software onto your computer first. Some computers will automatically install the drivers required to operate the scanner.
Plugin the scanner to a USB port on your computer and wait for the system to recognize it. It may be necessary to reboot your computer for it to recognize the hardware or for the device to work properly.
