Book Reader For Laptop

[Germain Aguilera]

Bigupdate for 2021: You can now use a connected Square Terminal with Virtual Terminal! Once you have Square Terminal, you can use it to turn your Mac or Windows PC into an all-in-one POS solution.

Well that sucks. Our RSL just purchased 3 of these things so we can collect donations for Poppy Day, now we find we cant connect them to laptops. That means we have to ask our members to use their own phones. Refund being sought.

Currently, there are no plans that have been stated to make an app for desktops. you can accept payments on your computer via virtual terminal. -terminal . It isn't a full POS but at least allows you to take a payment.

A couple of updates for you: You can now use the magstripe reader with your computer browser to take in-person payments (currently only Apple computers and Chromebooks are supported.)

Last but not least Appointments app is available on iOS and Android devices! but we are working on an Android version. If you like you can even participate in the beta for the Android Appointments app!

Super excited to be able to take swipe payments on my desktop and the Android Beta- but will the vitual terminal not be able to access my Items Library? Or is there a way to check out with the virtual terminal from Appointments on my desktop logged into my account? THAT would be the most ideal situation.

The browser interface in nice, but it is difficult to multitask with. It would greatly improve our workflow to not have to keep multiple tabs open on a browser that we constantly have to log back into when using an admin computer. There are workarounds for the logout issue (auto refresh) but that risks losing work if the refresh happens in the middle of a task.

I agree with this. Alternatively, it would also be really useful if there was a plug-in for Microsoft Outlook so I could manage my Square Appointments directly within my Outlook calendar rather than having to open the browser to manage them.

I have a tablet I can use, but the PC is more convenient. I was trying to figure out if it is possible to just plug the reader into my PC and use it instead. I did see where Apple devices can be used, but this is an HP.

How many thousands of views of this thread from people looking for square device compatibility with PC, and no straight answer from Square. Just be clear if you have no interest in supporting PC connectivity.

Note that, because your card reader is a "SCSI Disk Device" (or I'm assuming SATA), there is no support for "Passthrough" like you could do if you had a USB card reader. USB devices can be literally passed through so that the guest can install whatever driver they want to interact with the USB device at an extremely low level. SATA disk devices, on the other hand, can only be interacted with in the guest at the block layer, which is somewhat a higher level of abstraction than a full-on passthrough.

I have wasted Money it seems, im trying to use my PC as a POS yet the computer driver error comes up for Windows ? I was told by a shop i needed a Hub, so now i have $59 and $49 of items not working.

Square Reader is used in conjunction with our mobile Point of Sale app that runs on compatible iOS and Android based mobile devices. We don't currently support Windows or other forms of PCs or laptops, and don't have any plans to in the future.

It sounds like you might have been given incorrect information by a retailer here? Hub for Terminal is an accessory for Square Terminal that will connect receipt printers and cash drawers to Terminal - it won't connect a reader to a PC.

If the hardware is not fit for purposes I recommend returning it to the retailer for a refund! Otherwise you can still use the $59 Square Reader on a mobile device, it sounds like either way you won't need that hub though!

I've moved your message to this thread where we've got a little more info on this - in short though, unfortunately our POS app and connected hardware will not work with Windows based devices. Sorry to be the bearer of bad new here!

I also use square in the shop and would like square device to be able to connect to my square virtual terminal and on the PC which I thought it could do via bluetooth. can you please consider this forthe future.

Doing something like this would require a physical PIN pad on the hardware for security purposes - while our readers are approved for use with "PIN on Glass" via our secure mobile app, the same can't be said for use on a computer. To use the reader we'd need to have a way for users to enter a PIN, and as far as I'm aware there is no PCI approved way of doing this via a computer keyboard.

For now you'll have to to continue using the reader with your phone when there's a card present to be read, however you can still enter manually keyed payments via the Virtual Terminal on your online dashboard if you're taking a payment over the phone.

Hey @HungryTradie, at this time, the Square app and reader only connect to compatible phones, or tablets. Check out Seamus' answer in this thread for more information on why the app can't be used on a computer.

Hi

I own a new one OMEN Laptop - 15-dh1012nf / Windows 10 Family bought on France HP Store, new one for this one replaces a former one warranty exchanged by HP Store for sd card reader errors...

Inexplicably the two PCs encounter random operating errors on the SD card reader, device Genesys Logic: sometimes sd card is not recognized, sometimes it is, sometimes Windows Events Viewer show error disk on it.

I upgraded to BIOS F.14 Rev.A, the Genesys Logic driver is ok with the newest version.

Is this device Genesys Logic known as hardware with errors?

I give up relaunching HP Store for a new replacement...

Best regards

Since you have already tried most of the troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue and as we have limited support boundaries in the support community as of now. I would request you to contact our Support and our Support Engineers should be able to sort this out. HP Support can be reached by clicking on the following link: www.hp.com/contacthp/

Hi

Thanks for your advice and so I updated the BIOS to version F.15 Rev.A (HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads site gave this new BIOS I did not notice it).

I updated the BIOS version F.15 Rev.A: just before the last restarting after udpating I saw briefly a screen with a message of this type more or less I think:

"dev TITANIC fail"!!??...

I was not sure that the BIOS was effective but it seemed ok, the desktop shows the BIOS F15 A version (msinfo32) and boots without any problem...

But unfortunately with this BIOS update no improvement regarding the sd card reader of the platform...: sometimes ok, sometimes not , whatever the sd card I use.

Moreover I noticed this message in Windows Event Viewer :"HPDSKFLT...An unsupported disk adapter was found... ID 1001".

In fact this message is present from the beginning of the system configuration (but no error found in Device Manager).

I regularly update my platform with HP Support Assistant, Windows Update, Intel Driver and Driver Assistant.

For my own peculiar reasons I changed from Ubuntu to Debian and I have found that the fingerprint options are not in Settings as they are in Ubuntu.

Is there a way to enable the fingerprint reader on my FW using Debian?

Nosh, I switched to Mint which is working well for me, however I have not discovered how to enable the FPR. I tried your commands but Mint is not ready for this. Should I go back to Debian I will keep your comments at the ready. Thanks.

@QRP unfortunately as I dont have the hardware yet I cannot try this myself.

I know official support is for Ubuntu & Fedora, because they provide most polish as far as out of the box functionality is concerned.

I don't know if you're still looking for help. I was having this exact same issue and realized I couldn't find the toolbar I was looking for. There is a pop up menu that comes up from the bottom of a PDF document that I can't for the life of me figure out how to consistently make come up, but, if you put your finger on the screen and make the "right click" menu come up, you'll see at the top that you probably have the pointer selected as a method of interacting with the document. Right next t

Right next to that is a hand icon. Select that and you will be able to scroll using your finger. If you can figure out how to make the bottom menu appear, that has the hand icon too. Hope this helps you.
