The TapeTrack CloudScan API (TCS) allows a scanning device to communicate with a 2nd device via HTTP/HTTPS.

This enables a mobile device, such as an iOS or Android phone to act as a barcode scanner that can be connected to a desktop PC.

To install the CloudScan app on your iPhone, simply click on the App Store and search for Gazillabyte CloudScan

Alternatively a link from iTunes can be found on iTunes.

The android version can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.

When you are logged on to TapeTrack Lite and have selected the function you wish to perform click the CloudScan App button.

This will launch a window containing a unique QR code to connect your phone to TapeTrack to enable you to scan barcodes.

To scan barcodes, align your phone's camera at the barcode and it will scan it into TapeTrack to perform the task you have requested.image Continue scanning remaining barcodes until your task is complete.

If you cannot scan a barcode using the phone's camera, select Enter on the top right hand side of your screen and then press in the Manually Enter Barcode window. This will launch your phone's virtual keyboard.
