Overview

A fundamental requirement for scanning barcodes is to enable each specific symbology within the Scandit engine. Review the code snippets below to see how to enable them per platform or framework.

⚠️ The code snippets below assume use of the BarcodeCapture API, and will be similar (though not identical) if using another mode with mode settings. See the full list below:

SparkScan
BarcodeSelection
BarcodeBatch
BarcodeCount
BarcodeFind
BarcodePick
BarcodeAr

⚠️ You can review the complete list of Scandit's supported Barcode Symbologies and submit a support ticket to add symbologies to your license key permissions (indicated by "Error 24" shown on screen.)
