On Android payment terminals S1E Barcode<\/a>, S1E2L<\/a>, S1F2L<\/a>, and S1U2<\/a> you can make use of the barcode scanner button. When this feature is enabled in your Customer Area, you press the button to activate the scanner. If it scans a barcode, the terminal pastes the barcode content into an Android app with an input box installed on the terminal. You can also enable the software keyboard feature where the terminal simulates typing the barcode content as individual characters. For this to work, your app needs to listen for software keyboard events.<\/p>\n
