Common Questions About QR Scanning

What types of codes can I scan?

Momentech supports QR codes, standard barcodes (EAN-13, UPC), and Code 128. You can also generate and print your own QR labels directly from the app.

Do I need a special scanner device?

No. The built-in camera on any modern smartphone works. If you prefer, you can also use a dedicated Bluetooth barcode scanner — Momentech works with both.

Can I scan items that don't have a code yet?

Yes. You can create new items manually and then generate a QR code label to print and attach to the item. From then on, scanning handles everything.
