Purchasing Your Barcode Scanner
Breeze has a few recommended barcode scanners that we will support through our help center, however, any barcode scanner that will link to your computer or device will work.
Breeze Recommended Scanners:
Wired Scanner
Honeywell 1400G Voyager Linear/Area-Imaging Scanner with USB Host Interface
- This scanner is slightly more expensive, however it is quick and very reliable.
Bluetooth/Wired Scanner*
2 in 1 1D Laser USB 2.0 wired + Wireless Bluetooth Barcode Scanner
- This one involves a bit more setup but the big difference is it is wireless bluetooth. It can also be wired.
- This one is ideal for using on a mobile device.
The reason a church might want the first scanner, even though it’s more expensive and not wireless, is that it’s higher quality and can better detect barcodes. If you know you'll only be using it wired and can afford it, Breeze recommends the first one.
*Works with iPad connected via Bluetooth.
Setting Up Your Barcode Scanner
Changing factory settings on your new barcode scanner to optimize check-in efficiency can be tricky. That's why we've created consolidated direction for each of the support scanners.
Honeywell 1400G Barcode Scanner | Change it to add a carriage return to the end of the scan. This allows you to scan and have the individual checked in with one action.
TEEMI TMCT-10 Pro Barcode Scanner | Change it to be in continuous scan mode. To have the scanner automatically scan barcodes when they are put in front of the scanner (without pressing the trigger button), scan the following 3 barcodes in order from left to right. Note that the barcode laser will only light up when an object is placed in front of the scanner.
