Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
AsReader RFID readers and barcode scanners are broadly compatible with iOS, Android, and Windows devices depending on the specific model.
Many AsReader SLED and DOCK models feature a USB Type-C pass-through charging port or a magnetic charging terminal, allowing you to charge the attached smartphone simultaneously while operating the scanner.
In HID (Human Interface Device) mode, the AsReader acts like a keyboard emulator, inputting scanned barcode or RFID data directly into standard text fields. Serial/CDC mode is used when the device communicates directly with a custom application that has integrated the AsReader SDK.
If you are using HID mode, you do not need a specialized app, as it acts as a keyboard input for applications like Notepad or Excel. For Serial/SDK mode, you will need to use a compatible app that integrates the AsReader SDK.
Mode switching methods vary by model. For SLED/DOCK types, you typically scan a specific configuration barcode. For BOX-types, you may use a physical dip switch. Refer to your specific user manual for detailed instructions.
