# How To Get Your Barcode Scanner Connected To Your Terminal.
## Step-by-Step Instructions for Connecting and Configuring Your Barcode Scanner
If you're having difficulty getting your barcode scanner to function properly, this guide is here to help.
1\. Connect your barcode scanner to your terminal using its USB cable.
2\. Exit the SPARK application and navigate to your device's settings app.
3\. In the settings menu, scroll down to "system" and select "scan code and keyboard."
4\. Choose your scanning device from the list of available options.
5\. Once selected, you'll see various settings. Locate "key output" and toggle "broadcast output" to the "on" position. Then, tap "save."
6\. Close down your SPARK app and reopen it.
7\. Now, when you scan an item barcode, it will automatically be added to the order.
Remember: Ensure that you've set up item barcodes in the menu settings of the back office for seamless scanning. You can learn how by clicking [here](https://helpcentre.sparkepos.com/knowledge/how-to-set-a-bar-code?hsLang=en).
