Why do I have to disconnect/reconnect my barcode scanner to my android every 15-30 minutes to get it to work?

I use a tablet, but sometimes it loses wireless connection and I have to scan a couple times to get wireless connection back. It could be something simple like that.

There is an auto-disconnect default of 15 sec. and has to be changed for your particular use. I set mine for 3 min. and find that is a nice fit for my use. Remember, the longer the auto-disconnect is set, the more battery use. So, plan according to your needs and read the manual for instructions.

HUH, It worked for me, but scanned the barcode with my barcode reader on my phone and it took me to a video which showed me...Ok, Tap the box on your leg using the side that looks like it slides open, that should release the pin inside, then open..

I get that message on a lot of android devices, even though I'm connected. Just hit "Retry" and it will connect.

I believe it should scan any barcode you might have. It connects through Bluetooth if I remember correctly. It comes with a USB attachment for a wireless connection option as well. Doesn't work well for mobile devices though since unless you resolve the keyboard conflict.

Yes, and from iPhone too. The scanning feature stopped working almost immediately though.

So frustrating that a perfectly good scanner is now obsolete after Mac updates!!!

Simple answer: NO.More complicated answer: Yes, but only if the Android or iOS device will work with a -WIRED- USB keyboard. The reason for this is that barcode scanners like this work basically like a keyboard. If you open a text editor and then scan something, it behaves as though you keyed the the barcode in and hit return. This device does not have any bluetooth capability and you must use the 2.4Ghz wireless USB dongle.

I have seen this happen with other devices; you have to force a refresh; try restarting your PC while the device is connected.

I never saw the need to replace my scanner. It works fine every time and all the time. You simply have to put the scanner close to the barcode. I use it seven days a week without fail. Even barcodes under plastic wrap scan just fine. In my opinion, there is no need to replace the scanner at all. This is from real experience. I know it is sometimes confusing on which review to believe. I have been using this register daily for almost seven months now, without a glitch. Great product. Great price. Great find.

I'm running 10.6.8 and it's working on the iMac. You may have to download updates or something. Unless you are doing large format, one of the lower priced scanners may do just as well for you. I think some of the newer ones don't require the warm up times etc. this one does. I've had it for quite a while and haven't had any major issues, occasionally you may need to unplug it and do a restart on it, but you probably know how to do all that stuff already. Have fun.

Sorry, my android decided I was done. It works fine for manually controlling the unit and is an easy way to make sure the unit is working. I didn't use the scripting interface though. Once I got it working with the demo, I wrote my own software to control it. It's an easy interface to program for if you're familiar with using serial ports from software.

If you have the proper software and this device then you can reset the codes. If the problem still exists then the code(s) will come back.

To reset what? If you're talking about the fingerprint reader, just do the programming steps over again.......Barska has a customer service number you can call....they are knowledgeable and helpful....I googled the company

I don't know why, but mine does the same thing. It connects back up immediately though.

You have to plug it into your computer or it won't work, you can save it on your computer but cannot save it to the scanner.
