TixiScan supports external scanners as an alternative to using the builtin camera. This option will scan faster and more reliably even in dark conditions. You must buy and connect a supported scanner and select Scanner in the TixiScan settings as the scanning device instead of the camera.


Any Tera Bluetooth model should work with TixiScan but we tested the following:


The Tera scanner series must be setup to work with TixiScan. Follow these instructions:


Connect the scanner to your device

  • Enable Bluetooh on your iOS device in the Settings and leave this page open for next step.


  • Connect the scanner to your mobile

Turn scanner On then press the scan button for about 8 seconds until a beep is heard. The BarCode ScannerHID device will show up in the list of BlueTooth devices on your mobile. Click on it to accept the connection. The scanner will beep once connected and blue light will flash.


Important: when the scanner is conected to your mobile device it acts as a keyboard and the onscreen keyboard will not appear anymore. You can turn the scanner off to recover the on screen keyboard or press the scan button twice (on the scanner) to toggle the keyboard when required. TixiScan does not require the keyboard at all.
