Need help with a
TekRenew device?

You're in the right place. Whether you need drivers, setup help, warranty info, or just have a question — start here. Most issues can be resolved in a few minutes with the right resource.

Drivers & downloads

Direct from the manufacturer.

We always recommend using the latest official drivers and software from the device manufacturer. Click through to their official support page to download drivers, SDKs, manuals, and firmware.

Barcode scanners

Manufacturer support pages

Symbol-branded devices are now supported by Zebra. Use the Zebra link above for drivers and software.

Setup guides

Getting up & running.

Most TekRenew devices are plug-and-play, but a few first-time steps make sure everything works smoothly. Follow the basics below, then jump to the manufacturer's full manual if you need deeper configuration.

01

Unbox & inspect

Confirm the device, cable, and stylus (for signature pads) are all in the box. Check for any shipping damage before powering on. If anything is missing or damaged, contact us within 7 days.

02

Install the driver

Head to the manufacturer's support page (linked above) and download the latest driver for your specific model. Always use the official driver — third-party versions can cause issues.

03

Connect the device

For USB devices, plug directly into your computer (avoid USB hubs for initial setup). For wireless scanners, scan the pairing barcode on the cradle. Power on and wait for the device to be recognized.

04

Test functionality

Open a text editor or your application. For signature pads, sign and verify capture. For scanners, scan a test barcode — text should appear at your cursor. If it doesn't work, see our FAQs below.

05

Configure (optional)

Need custom settings — like adding a return key after each scan, or adjusting signature pressure sensitivity? The manufacturer's user manual includes configuration barcodes or driver utilities for advanced setup.

06

Save your info

Save your order confirmation email — it includes your order number and warranty start date. You'll need this if you ever file a warranty claim or contact support.

Returns

Returning a device.

30-day return window

You have 30 days from the delivery date to initiate a return. After 30 days, only warranty-eligible issues are covered through our warranty process.

Original condition

Devices must be in the same condition you received them — no physical damage, missing parts, or signs of heavy use. Original packaging preferred but not required.

Once we receive and inspect the returned unit, refunds process within 3–5 business days to the original payment method. You'll get an email confirmation when it's done.

Frequently asked

Customer FAQs.

The questions we get most often from buyers of our renewed hardware. Toggle between signature pads and barcode scanners.

My signature pad isn't being recognized by my computer.
Start by installing the latest driver from the manufacturer — links are in the Drivers & Downloads section above. Make sure you're using a working USB cable and port (try a different one if possible). If the device powers on but isn't detected, try a system restart with the device plugged in. If that doesn't work, contact us.
The stylus isn't capturing my signature properly.
Most signature pads use a passive (battery-free) stylus that only works with that specific brand of pad — they're not interchangeable. Make sure you're using the stylus that came with your pad. If the original was lost or damaged, contact the manufacturer for a replacement stylus. Pressure-sensitive pads may also need calibration through the manufacturer's driver utility.
Do TekRenew signature pads work with my point-of-sale software?
Compatibility depends on the model and the POS software. Most signature pads from Topaz, Scriptel, Signotec, and Wacom integrate with standard POS platforms via SDK or HID. Check your POS provider's documentation for supported devices, or reach out to us with the model you're considering before purchase.
Can I use a TekRenew signature pad with my Mac?
Some signature pads have Mac drivers (Topaz and Wacom generally do), others are Windows-only. Check the manufacturer's downloads page for your specific model. If macOS support isn't listed, the device may still work for basic signature capture via HID, but advanced features won't be available.
My scanner won't scan any barcodes.
First, check that the device is powered and the scan beam is firing (most scanners emit a visible red or green light). If the beam fires but doesn't decode, the scanner may need to be configured for the barcode type you're scanning (1D vs 2D, specific symbologies). The manufacturer's user manual includes configuration barcodes to enable/disable symbologies. If the scanner doesn't power on at all, contact us.
How do I configure the scanner to add a return/enter after each scan?
Most scanners ship configured to add a "carriage return" (Enter key) after each successful scan. If yours isn't, the manufacturer's manual includes a "programming barcode" you can scan to enable or disable this — search the manual for "suffix" or "terminator" settings. Each brand handles this slightly differently.
My wireless scanner won't connect to its base/cradle.
Most wireless scanners need to be "paired" with their base by scanning a pairing barcode printed on the cradle itself. If the pairing barcode is worn off or missing, the manufacturer's manual has a replacement pairing code. Also confirm the cradle is powered and the scanner battery is charged.
Does my scanner work without software, or do I need drivers?
Most barcode scanners work in "HID keyboard wedge" mode out of the box — they act like a keyboard and type scanned data wherever your cursor is. This works for spreadsheets, web forms, POS systems, etc. without any drivers. For advanced features (data parsing, custom outputs, batch mode), you'll need the manufacturer's configuration software.
My device stopped working — what should I do?
Start with basic troubleshooting: power cycle the device, try a different cable or USB port, and reinstall the latest manufacturer driver. If the device is still under our 90-day warranty and the issue is a functional defect, contact us to file a warranty claim. If you're outside warranty or the issue is software-related, the manufacturer support pages linked above are your best resource.
How do I check if my device is still under warranty?
Warranty runs 90 days from your delivery date. Check your order confirmation email or invoice for the date. If you're not sure, email support@tekrenew.com with your order number or device serial and we'll confirm.
Where do I find the serial number on my device?
Serial numbers are usually printed on a small label on the back or underside of the device. For signature pads, it's typically on the bottom. For barcode scanners, it's on the underside near the trigger or on the bottom of the cradle. The serial usually starts with letters and is 8–14 characters long.
Do you offer extended warranties?
Not directly, but most manufacturers offer extended service plans you can purchase separately through their own support portals. Visit the manufacturer's site for options.
Can I get replacement parts (cables, styluses, batteries)?
Replacement accessories should be ordered directly from the manufacturer to ensure compatibility. The links above will get you to the right support page for each brand.
