# Wired scan devices

Eventication can supply you with wired scan devices. These can be hookup up to a computer using a standard USB connection, and will be recognised by the computer as a keyboard. These devices can then scan QR codes for you and paste their value to your computer. This makes it very easy to find people who show you their ticket or wristband.

### Configuration

Because these scanners are recognised as keyboards on your laptop, they can be configured to use AZERTY, QWERTY, ... If a scanner has been configured as an AZERTY scanner and you use a QWERTY keyboard, the scan values will be wrong. Our event hardware page has a configuration helper to help you correctly configure the device.

First you select which scanner you have received from our company, then select the keyboard layout your computer has. Next the page will show you one or more QR or BAR codes. Scan these from top to bottom to reconfigure the scanner.

Afterwards you are presented with a QR code and a textfield. Scan the QR code and the textfield will automatically fill with the read data. A <mark style="background-color:green;">green</mark> badge tells you the configuration has been done correctly. A <mark style="background-color:red;">pink</mark> badge tells you something went wrong as the configuration is still not the same as your keyboard.

To place your order, please go to the [Hardware](/event/hardware/scan-app-devices.md) section in your event and click on [orders](/event/hardware/orders.md).
