Can I use barcode scanners with DAXTOP?

Yes. Barcode scanning is central to how DAXTOP retail works: scan at the register to sell, scan while receiving purchase orders to book stock in, scan during stocktakes to count, and scan on transfers to move goods between locations without typos.

Any standard USB or wireless scanner that emulates keyboard input works out of the box — that covers virtually every retail scanner sold today, with no drivers or configuration. Scan a barcode into the search field and DAXTOP resolves the product instantly.

Barcodes end to end

DAXTOP also generates and prints barcode labels for products that arrive without them, so goods without manufacturer barcodes can still flow through scan-based checkout and counting. See the barcode inventory guide for how scanning, labels, and stock control fit together.

Choosing a scanner

For a counter, a corded USB scanner is the reliable default — nothing to charge, nothing to pair. For receiving areas and stockrooms, a wireless scanner saves walking; for shelf work, a scanner paired with a tablet turns any aisle into a workstation. 2D-capable (imager) models read both traditional barcodes and QR codes and have become the sensible default at their current prices.

Whatever you pick, the integration story is the same: it types what it scans. That is why DAXTOP does not maintain a "supported scanners list" — keyboard-emulating scanners simply work, which keeps your hardware choices open and cheap.
