Getting Started with Rundoo · Hardware Set-up

Set Up Your Barcode Scanner

One short, one-time setup: pair the scanner, teach it, then test that a scan lands on the ticket.

Three moves, start to finish

1

Pair

Point the scanner at the QR code on the cradle, pull the trigger.

One beep = paired

2

Teach

Print the config sheet, scan the QR at the top of the page.

Wraps scans in | pipes

3

Test

Confirm the wrap, then scan a product into the POS cart.

It lands on the ticket

Set it up in 5 steps

  1. Plug the cradle's USB into the computer.
  2. Point the scanner at the QR on the cradle, pull the trigger.
  3. Print the config sheet, scan the QR at the top.
  4. Scan into a text box: you want |0123456789|.
  5. In POS › Transactions › New, click the cart area (not the search bar), then scan.

The wrap is the whole trick

|0123456789|

Every good scan comes out inside pipes, that's how Rundoo knows a scan is a scan and not typing. Bare number, no bars? Reprint the sheet and scan it again.

The one thing people miss: print the config sheet on paper. Scanning it off a screen reads unreliably and trips up more folks than anything else in the setup.
Practice away. This is your practice store, so scan a few things to get a feel for it. Scan the same item twice and the quantity climbs instead of adding a new line. None of it touches your real inventory.
That's your scanner, ready to ring. · rundocs.com
