In Cloud POS, the Quick Scan feature allows you to use a barcode scanner to easily input barcodes into the system. This is useful for tasks like scanning items at the Point of Sale or during an Inventory Count/Stock Take.
Citrus-Lime provides a wired Aures barcode scanner, but you can also purchase your own to use. This guide covers how to connect and configure the Zebra CS4070 model.
Connecting the Zebra CS4070 to an iPad
1) Power on the barcode scanner by pressing the scan key (+).
2) On your iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
3) Enable Bluetooth.
4) Under OTHER DEVICES, tap on your barcode scanner. Once paired, the scanner will display as “Connected” under MY DEVICES, and the blue Bluetooth LED will flash slowly.

The Zebra CS4070 offers numerous configuration options, which can be adjusted by scanning specific barcodes provided in the Zebra manual.
