6. Arazoak

If you encounter issues with your Tera 5100 barcode scanner, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Eskanerrak ez du erantzuten:
  • Ensure the scanner is charged. Check the battery indicator lights.
  • Verify the USB dongle is securely plugged into your computer, or the USB cable is firmly connected.
  • Try plugging the dongle/cable into a different USB port.
  • Berrabiarazi ordenagailua.
• Barra-kodea ez da eskaneatzen:
  • Ensure the barcode is clean and not severely damaged. While the scanner can read fuzzy/damaged codes, extreme cases may prevent scanning.
  • Doitu eskanerra eta barra-kodearen arteko distantzia eta angelua.
  • Confirm the barcode type is supported (1D barcodes only for this model).
• Compatibility with POS Systems (e.g., PayPal Zettle):

  Please note that Tera scanners, including the 5100, operate by emulating keyboard input. This allows them to scan barcodes into text fields (e.g., "Search" or "Add Product"). However, they cannot directly add items to a shopping cart as this function requires deeper integration and communication between the scanner and the application. For specific POS system compatibility, it is recommended to check with the software provider for a list of officially supported barcode scanners.

• Haririk gabeko konexio-arazoak:
  • Ensure the scanner is within the specified transmission range (up to 328 ft barrier-free, 30-100 ft with obstacles).
  • Minimize interference from other 2.4Ghz devices.
