Hola buenas:
Deseamos utilizar Ventor para un Odoo 12 V.Community, en tabletas Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2 ( con Android 9), podrian indicar posibles modelos de escanner bluetooth probados ?.
Gracias.
Hello Maximo,
we use it with some no-name Chinese scanners in our office. Ventor should work with any barcode scanner if it can successfully connect to your device and scan a barcode in third-party apps (notepad, browser, or any).
Don’t forget to activate a setting “external barcode scanner”
