Digital Barcode Tips
The Spydus app’s Display card functionality works as a digital membership card in libraries
and can be used at staffed counters and self service machines in lieu of a physical card.
Tips
- Ensure your screen brightness is turned up
- Position the screen so the red laser of the scanner is in the centre of the barcode
