For a handheld scanner
- Tap the search box first — it needs the cursor there.
- Scan something you know works, like a soda can, to test the scanner itself.
- Unplug and replug the USB, or re-pair Bluetooth.
For camera scanning
- Better light.
- Hold steady, about 6 inches back.
- Make sure the camera permission is allowed for this site.
For labels you printed
- Reprint at 100% scale with no page scaling.
- Don't shrink labels to fit more per page.
- Low toner makes bars too thin to read.
Last resort
Type the barcode digits into the search box by hand. It finds the product the same way.
