Frequently asked questions

Why won't my barcode scan?

Common causes are glare, blur, a crumpled label or too little contrast. Hold the code steady and flat, add light, and try a photo.

What light is best for scanning?

Even, bright light without glare. Reflections on glossy packaging often block detection, so tilt the item slightly.
