For sharing the barcode scanner with multiple applications, set it up to work in keyboard wedge mode. In this mode, Solteq Commerce Cloud POS needs to be the active window for the scanner to work.
This mode can also be used for reading barcodes on Back Office.
In the keyboard wedge mode, scanner sends <HOME>DATA<ENTER> as it was typed from keyboard. This needs to be taken into account on other applications.
