Note: This article is only for the barcode scanner Unitech MS335 XU1G

With the release of the PowerChurch Check In system, we now have a new barcode scanner available for purchase:

Compatible Check In Products

This new barcode scanner has the ability to be parked in the included cradle and set in a mode to continuously read barcodes. This will allow attendees to simply walk up and scan their barcode to check themselves in to an event, without having to handle the barcode scanner.

To configure the barcode scanner, it is recommended that you first reset the scanner to the factory defaults, and then set it to scan in continuous mode.


To do this:

  1. Scan the barcode labeled "Factory Default" on page C.1 of the scanner user manual.
  2. Scan the barcode labeled "Continuous" found on page C.8 of the scanner user manual.


The barcode scanner should be set to always scan.

To enable barcode scanning in the PowerChurch Check In Kiosk:
