First make sure Finding objects via a Barcode or QR-Code on the {{UBIK Client}} implies that a [[FAQ:Client#tab=Android|recommended application]] is installed on the device. Additionally the objects and the system needs to be prepared as described by these [[HowTo:Make_an_Object_be_found_by_Optical_Codes|instructions]]. This guide describes how to use the features on the client.

Instead, the scanning menu can be found in the navigation drawer (to be opened by clicking on the app's icon).}}{{attention|From version 2.4.4 on, the Getac Z710's integrated barcode/qr-code scanner is used if available. In the default configuration, it makes a very loud beeping sound though. You might want to switch that off in the Getac's settings (not in the UBIK settings - this is outside our control).}}
