Bar code scanners are configured in Takeout Settings.

To configure bar code scanners:

• Connect a bar code scanner to an available USB port on the Aloha BOH file server.
• Wait for the device drivers to install and the scanner to become ready. The scanner will beep when it is installed and ready.
• With Takeout selected in the product panel, select Maintenance > Takeout Configuration > Takeout Settings > Barcode Scanners tab.
  
• Select Enable USB barcode scanners.
• Click Detect to locate the scanner on the system.
• Scan any bar code. A dialogue appears with the scanner information.
  
  
  📝 If a normal keyboard is attached to the terminal along with the bar code reader, Aloha Takeout may detect the keyboard instead. We recommend you detach the keyboard before detecting scanners.
  
  
• Type a device name.
• Click OK.
• Repeat the steps above for other bar code scanners you will connect to ATO terminals.
• Click Save.
