These scanners can be purchased on Amazon, and either one will work. Purchase links below:

Ring Scanner Not Powering On

  • Connect the ring scanner to a USB type c cable and let charge for at least 1 hour

Bluetooth Pairing Troubleshooting

If the steps outlined in the guide How to Setup Ring Scanners to Use With Link don’t work, you can try forcing the device to pair using the user manual by following the steps below:

Step 1: Locate Pairing Mode Setting in User Manual

  • Navigate to the Pairing Mode Setting section of the user manual and scan the "Bluetooth HID Pairing Mode Barcode" with your scanner

  • Your scanner should beep and start flashing

Step 2: Select Scanner from Bluetooth Menu

  1. As the scanner is flashing and in pairing mode, go back to your iOS device's Bluetooth settings, the ring scanner should appear there as its model name. Tap to pair it to your iOS device

  2. Once paired, “Connected” will show next to the model name. Your app will now remember the scanner each time it's turned on!

Note: The name of the ring scanner may be different than below. We have seen everything from "Barcode Scanner HID" to "EY-XXXXX-XXX".

Your scanner is now paired! Your app will now remember the scanner each time it's turned on.

Keyboard Not Showing Troubleshooting

If you have a ring barcode scanner connected to Link, you may find the keyboard does not pull up when tapping into a search field. Follow the steps below to get the keyboard to pull up.

  1. Ensure the search field is selected

  2. Press the button on your ring scanner twice

  3. The keyboard should pull up

If your keyboard still doesn't show up, navigate to the "Pull up and Hide Keyboard" section of your ring scanner user manual and scan the barcode twice.
