  • Enable/Disable header & footer to show/hide the page URL.

Create Shortcuts for web application

Website to Desktop apps in One-Click

• You can use this online tool to convert website to Desktop App – Website-to-Desktop
• This tool is just a wrapper for browser
• We haven’t tested OnePOS 100% with this tool, but you can give it a try.

Browser Full-Screen mode or distraction-free mode

• • Whenever you’re in “Full Screen” mode and use a browser-based printing option it gets exit from Full Screen. This also happens if you navigate to another page in full screen.
  • But if you have enabled “Full Screen” by pressing “F11” it will not get exit during navigation and also during browser-based printing.
  • Using OnePOS POS sales screen in “Full screen” by pressing “F11” gives an ultimate experience.

Barcode Scanner Trick

• Many barcode scanners send an “End of Line” or “CR/LF” ( the ‘Carriage Return’ and the ‘Line Feed’) characters after each scan. This will result in some issue with OnePOS. Well, it’s not an issue with OnePOS or the scanner. This feature is useful in some cases. But you should disable it while using OnePOS.
• Some noted behaviors are, in POS screen invoice gets automatically submitted after scanning, automatically page gets redirected after scanning.
• To disable it simply follow the instruction provided by your manufacturer. ALL branded manufacturer have instruction available to “Disable Carriage return & Line Feed”. Google it.
• For example: In this link, you will find simple instructions for Honeywell scanners (“RESOLUTION” present at bottom of page) (https://honeywellaidc.force.com/supportppr/s/article/How-to-remove-the-Enter-after-each-scan)
