E-Seek ID scanners as well as magnetic readers with USB cables are considered “Serial Devices”, and thus need to be configured accordingly. You can only use one scanning device at a time. If you are not sure which COM port to select for your reader, simply refer to Device Manager via the Hardware and Sound tab in Control Panel*. Once in Device Manager, use the drop down under Ports (COM & LPT).

 

*If running Windows 10, Control Panel can be accessed by using the Search feature (Windows Key + S), or by right-clicking the Start button.
