how to install Adesso NuScan 2800U

• Unpack and place the NuScan 2800U on a stable desk or counter with the supplied stand. Position the scanner so that you can aim it toward barcode surfaces at comfortable arm reach.
• Connect the scanner to your computer or POS terminal using the included USB cable. In most cases, the device will be recognized automatically as a USB HID device, requiring little to no configuration.
• Power on your computer or POS system and test with common barcodes used in your operation (UPC/EAN, QR codes, and other 2D codes). If the scan results appear as keyboard input, you are likely using HID mode and no driver is needed.
• If your POS software requires a different data input method, verify whether keyboard wedge (USB emulation) or a dedicated driver is needed, and apply the appropriate configuration within your software settings. Many systems will accept reads directly as keystrokes.
• Calibrate or adjust the viewing angle and stand height to optimize ergonomics for your staff. Ensure the scanner is clean, free of dust, and the stand is secure so that the device remains stable during rapid scanning.
