Offline Scanning

If you have any concerns about network connectivity issues at scanning locations, you can contact Stream Support to discuss offline scanning for your operation.

Please Note

Offline scanning requires scan sessions to be completed in a single attempt, and does not allow for pausing and resuming a scan session. This will create ‘Scan incomplete’ events for any items not scanned during that session.
