  • Confirm the barcode type is supported (1D barcodes only for this model).
• Compatibility with POS Systems (e.g., PayPal Zettle):

  Please note that Tera scanners, including the 5100, operate by emulating keyboard input. This allows them to scan barcodes into text fields (e.g., "Search" or "Add Product"). However, they cannot directly add items to a shopping cart as this function requires deeper integration and communication between the scanner and the application. For specific POS system compatibility, it is recommended to check with the software provider for a list of officially supported barcode scanners.

  • Ensure the scanner is within the specified transmission range (up to 328 ft barrier-free, 30-100 ft with obstacles).
  • Minimize interference from other 2.4Ghz devices.
