Pick & Pack supports Bluetooth and RF barcode scanners. When a scanner is connected, it replaces the camera as the primary scan input — the camera overlay no longer opens automatically.
## Connecting your scanner
1. Pair your scanner with your device via Bluetooth (follow your scanner manufacturer's instructions)
2. Open Pick & Pack — it detects the connected scanner automatically
3. A toolbar appears at the top of the pick and pack screens showing **"RF scanner ready · [device name]"**
Once connected, scan item barcodes as prompted. The scanner acts as keyboard input, so no additional in-app configuration is required for most devices.
## Using the camera alongside an RF scanner
While an RF scanner is connected, you can open the camera overlay for a one-off scan by tapping the scan icon in the header. This is useful for items that are difficult to reach with a hand-held scanner.
## Setting up scanner input
Go to **Settings → Scanner** and select **RF Scanner** to configure the app for your hardware scanner.
