POS Login - Scan Employee Badge

📋 Overview

Starting in QS POS version 2.48 and higher, employees can now log in or approve manager functions using a barcode or QR code from their badge — no need to type in a PIN! 

This works by scanning the badge with:

• 🖥️ A USB-connected Zebra scanner for the L1400 POS terminal
• 📸 An A800 camera scanner
• 📸 The built-in scanner on an E700 POS terminal

🔐 How It Works

✅ Requirements:

• Device must be running QS POS v2.48+
• The badge must include a barcode or QR code based on the employee’s External ID
• The External ID must be numeric only

🛠️ Need help creating users with External IDs?
Follow the POS Account Setup Guide for step-by-step instructions.

⚠️ Important Note

If an employee’s POS Account was created with an auto-generated UUID, you’ll need to update it with a numeric External ID for scanning to work.
