Which scanner can I use?

In pack mode and scan mode you scan receipts and labels directly on the PC. Almost any standard 2D barcode scanner is suitable for this.

On the PC

You need a 2D scanner with USB or wireless that works like a keyboard. It "types" the scanned code and finishes with Enter. This is the default setting on most scanners.
Many pharmacies already have a scanner like this at the till. You can use it for apomap too.
No drivers or setup in apomap are needed. Plug in the scanner, open Pack mode or Scan mode, scan.

On the road

The apomap Terminal has a built-in 2D scanner, triggered with the scan button on the side. In the driver app on a smartphone, your driver scans with the camera. → Collecting and loading orders

What can I scan?

Delivery receipts from your pharmacy management system
apomap labels
Tour labels

Tip: If nothing happens when you scan, click once in pack mode or scan mode so that apomap receives the input.
