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).

SwiftScan TS200 by Unitech
The SwiftScan TS200 by Unitech has 2 USB-ends on the cable.
One of the USB-ends has a cable branching back to the device as well as another branching to another USB port. This 'center' USB-end must be plugged into the computer. If plugged in to a USB 3.0 port, this will be the only cable necessary, though we still recommend plugging in both USB-ends to ensure the device has enough power. A USB-hub can be used in the event that your computer does not offer enough USB ports to successfully power the device.
- Plug the RJ45 connector end of the cable into the scanner.
- Plug in both USB ends into the computer or a powered USB hub. The device works best when both USB plugs are used, but can be used with only 1 plug connected.
- For VeriScan: Start the VeriScan software and navigate to Settings > Devices > +Add > Scanner and select the COM port assigned to the scanner.
- For WizzForms: Start the Wizzforms software. Right click the WizzForms Icon in the system tray by the time and navigate to Reader/Scanner #1. Click the dropdown and select the COM port assigned to the scanner.
Your selected device should now be ready to use within the VeriScan application!
