• Choose your barcode scanning UI (RTU vs Custom)
  Decide whether you want to start with a prebuilt scanner screen (RTU UI) or build a fully custom experience (Custom UI).

  • Ready‑to‑Use UI (RTU UI): Get a preconfigured, production‑ready scanner screen that you can integrate with just a few lines of code while still adjusting colors, texts, and basic behavior.

  • Custom UI: Use low‑level UI components to build your own scanner screens with maximum control over layout, behavior, and advanced scanning modes such as multiple, tiny, or distant barcodes.
