Set up a Socket Mobile S700 barcode scanner for use with Lightspeed Restaurant by pairing it with an iOS device running Lightspeed Restaurant. Ensure the scanner is fully charged before pairing it. After setting up a scanner, you can assign barcodes to items in the Back Office so employees can quickly add those items to orders.
To scan the barcodes in this article, either print and scan them or scan them from a screen. If you are printing the barcodes, do not stretch them as this can make them unscannable.
Pairing the scanner with an iOS device
- Hold the Power button on the scanner to turn it on.
- Scan the iOS mode barcode below or in the scanner’s manual. Wait for the scanner to beep three times, indicating it has entered iOS mode.
New barcode scanners will be set to HID mode by default before completing this step. Only iOS mode, not HID mode, is compatible with the Lightspeed Restaurant app.
- On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then turn Bluetooth on.
- Wait for the Socket device name to appear on the screen under Devices or Other Devices (if Bluetooth accessories have been paired with this iOS device before).
- Tap the Socket device name on screen to pair it with the iOS device. When pairing is complete, the scanner’s status will change to Connected.
Unpairing the scanner
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth on your iOS device.
- Tap the "i" icon
- Select Forget This Device.
Factory resetting the scanner
To reset the scanner to factory settings, scan the factory reset barcode.
