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.

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.
