If you can’t read well, try changing the distance between the camera and the barcode little by little. If multiple barcodes are included in the camera image, click \"\" (zoom) button and adjust the magnification of the image so that only the barcode to be read is included in the camera image. See 4.1.1.1 Camera settings (Focus, Brightness, Zoom)<\/a> for information on how to adjust the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* If the barcode you read is too far or too close to the camera, you may not be able to read it. Also, small barcodes may not be readable. If you cannot read, please also try 4.1.1.2 Tap to Scan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If more than one camera is available on your PC, you can switch between them with the\"\" “Switch Camera” button. If possible, it is recommended to use a camera with autofocus function (mainly a rear camera). You can set the camera to start first. For information about how to set it up, see 6.1.1 Preferred Camera<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also set the following reading options for camera reading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
