Click the "Install Scanner App" button and follow the on-screen instructions

- Make sure the app is added to you the home screen of the device in order to work properly

Using the app

Before scanning codes, you must select an event to scan into. Click the Menu button in the top right of the app.
Click the Download Events button to load the events into the app.
In the list of events, click the "Filter Events" button, then select "College Events"
Tap the event that you want to scan into, they are broken down by date
In the confirmation screen, click Confirm.
The app is now ready to begin scanning! Just point the camera at a QR code and it should pop up a message saying "Checked in" and a short beep will play.

Troubleshooting

To restart the app, double-tap the home button. Currently, open apps will be displayed. Swipe away the app to close it. Then press the home button and open the app again.
If you see a "Stop camera recording?" pop up, click allow.
Camera is blurry or won't scan? Make sure there is enough light for the camera to see the code. Try moving the code closer to the camera (or farther away). Finally, try restarting the app.
