Summary
Some keyboards apps on Android may prevent the on-screen keyboard from appearing on the cash register. Using Google’s default keyboard, Gboard, can resolve this issue.
Resolving Keyboard Issues
Using Google Default Keyboard
- Install the app “GBoard – Google keypad app” from the Google Play Store for free.
- Open the settings on your tablet.

- Select "Physical keyboard."
- Activate the option "Show-on screen keyboard."
By following these steps, you should be able to restore the on-screen keyboard functionality on your cash register.
