This article explains how to set up an Eyoyo BT 1D scanner (as pictured here) for use with your ScanPower Account. While these instructions are specific to this model, the general setup is similar for all such devices.
For Use With Mobile Devices
One way to use a ring scanner like this is for retail arbitrage, or sourcing merchandise in retail stores. Designed to wear on your finger, a ring scanner makes it easy to quickly scan the UPC of merchandise and access the FBA information (ranking, restricted status, etc.) with your thumb. Since the ring scanner pivots 180 degrees, it can be used on either the right or left hand.
STEP ONE: Pairing the Scanner with Your Device
Make sure the scanner is charged, turn it ON by toggling the power switch, and long press the yellow scan button for 8 seconds to enter the Bluetooth search mode.
Turn on Bluetooth in your device to detect Bluetooth device named "Barcode Scanner HID." If paired successfully, you will hear a beep. Note: When the scanner enters the state of matching and does not successfully pair with a Bluetooth device within 1 minute, then you will here 2 long, low beeps indicating a failed pairing. The scanner will re-enter scanning mode and you will have to repeat the process OR, try the alternate pairing method
Alternate Pairing Method
Start the scanner and scan the "Bluetooth Pairing Setup Barcode" to enter the Bluetooth search mode:
This barcode should be in the manual that came with your scanner, but if you don't have access to that, you may be able to scan the screen or a printout of this barcode.Turn on Bluetooth in your device to detect Bluetooth device named "Barcode Scanner HID." If paired successfully, you will hear a beep.
Once paired, the scanner will automatically revert to scanning mode and you can proceed to using it with your device. OR, once successfully paired, you can push the scan button twice to revert to exit match/pairing mode.
STEP TWO: Using the Scanner with Your Device
Once the ring scanner has been successfully paired with your mobile device, open and sign in to your ScanPower account (if you have not already done so).
You must tap/select the search field within the app, then you are ready to scan. If nothing happens when you scan a UPC code, then make sure you have actually selected/tapped the input field (search field) within the app, as pictured here:
For Use With Desktop PC Terminals (including MAC OS)
Another way you might use your ring scanner with our ScanPower software is when listing items (scanning the UPC) or packing shipments (scanning either the UPC or the FNSKU label).
STEP ONE: Pairing the Scanner With Your Device
The scanner is able to work wirelessly via Bluetooth with your PC (including MAC OS) terminals.
Bluetooth Pairing:
Make sure the ring scanner is charged and turned on.
Long press the yellow scan button for 8 seconds to enter the Bluetooth search mode.
Turn on Bluetooth in your device to detect the Bluetooth device named, "Barcode Scanner HID." If paired successfully, you will hear a beep. Note: When the scanner enters the state of matching and does not successfully pair with a Bluetooth device within 1 minute, then you will here 2 long, low beeps indicating a failed pairing. The scanner will re-enter scanning mode and you will have to repeat the process OR, try the alternate pairing method
Alternate Pairing Method
If the previous method does not result in successful pairing, you can try this alternative method. The Bluetooth HID Pairing Mode barcode is included in the manual that came with the ring scanner, or you may try scanning it here (or printing it out to scan).
Turn on Bluetooth in your device to detect the Bluetooth device named, "Barcode Scanner HID." If paired successfully, you will hear a beep.
STEP TWO: Using The Scanner With Your Device
At this point, you are ready to use your ring scanner to scan UPCs or FNSKUs within the ScanPower software. Just be sure to place the curser in the field for which you are scanning. For example, if you are scanning UPCs to enter into a batch, you would want to make sure to place your cursor in the field highlighted here in green. If you wanted to search for an item within a batch, you would want to place the cursor in the field highlighted in red.
