Can I order an extra scanner?

Yes. Having multiple scanners can be beneficial for a few reasons, if you have multiple computers at your desk, you can have more than one person carrying out issuing resources, or when using stock check, you can have multiple people scanning books at once to speed the process up. 

You can have as many scanners as you like, but be aware you can only use one per computer, 2 scanners plugged into the same computer will not be able to use the library system at the same time, so your only limit is the number of computers you have. 

If you would like to order a new or extra barcode scanners you can contact our Admin team via info@reading-cloud.com to place an order.

If you are experiencing difficulties with an existing scanner please see the article on configuring your barcode reader.
