Socket Mobile SocketScan® S740, Universal Barcode Scanner, Blue & White Dock

Meet the SocketScan® S740, a universal Bluetooth barcode scanner designed to streamline workflows across retail, hospitality, and enterprise environments. Engineered to work seamlessly with popular platforms, this scanner delivers rapid 1D and 2D barcode decoding on paper or screens, making checkout, inventory, and order processing faster and more accurate. Its compact, ergonomic form reduces hand fatigue during long shifts, while a robust battery ensures all-day performance between charges. The Blue & White Dock included with the package provides a reliable charging cradle that keeps the scanner ready at a moment’s notice, turning any countertop into a dedicated scanning station. In short, the S740 combines portability, performance, and versatility to boost productivity in stores, restaurants, warehouses, and service desks alike.

  • Versatile Bluetooth connectivity for modern commerce: The SocketScan® S740 uses Bluetooth wireless technology to support both HID keyboard emulation and Serial (SPP) interfaces. This dual-support design enables instant pairing with tablets, smartphones, POS terminals, and desktop systems across iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS without needing custom drivers or software changes. The result is a plug‑and‑play solution that minimizes setup time and maximizes uptime in busy environments.

    Whether your team uses Shopify, Square, ShopKeep, or other leading apps, the S740 slides into your existing workflow with minimal friction. It also supports soft‑reset operations for flawless re-pairing after device updates, ensuring your POS remains consistently reliable across shifts and locations.

  • Cross‑platform 1D and 2D barcode decoding: The SocketScan® S740 is capable of reading a wide range of barcodes, including standard 1D barcodes (UPC, EAN, Code 39, Code 128) and dense 2D codes (PDF417, Data Matrix, QR codes). It performs well on both conventional paper printouts and digital screens, which makes it ideal for e‑commerce returns, order entry from mobile devices, and on‑the‑go inventory checks. The high‑contrast engine provides reliable scanning even from reflective surfaces or poorly printed codes, helping reduce data entry errors and improve accuracy at the point of sale.

    In practice, this means faster checkout lines, quicker stocktakes, and fewer manual corrections—benefits that translate directly into happier customers and smoother operations.

  • Lightweight, ergonomic design for all‑day comfort: The S740 is built with a balanced, comfortable grip and a lightweight profile that reduces user fatigue during long scanning sessions. Its design emphasizes a natural hand position, easy trigger access, and smooth scanning actions that minimize repetitive motion. The result is a scanner you can hand to cashiers, waitstaff, warehouse staff, or field technicians without compromising comfort or speed, even during peak hours.

    When combined with the Blue & White Dock, the system remains organized and accessible on the counter, helping staff transition from handheld scanning to docked charging with minimal disruption.

  • Long‑lasting battery life with a reliable charging dock: The S740 is engineered to handle high‑volume environments with battery life designed to last through busy shifts. A durable battery delivers consistent performance across dozens or hundreds of scans per day, while the included Blue & White Dock serves as a dedicated charging cradle and display stand. The dock ensures the scanner is always ready for use, reduces downtime, and simplifies inventory and checkout workflows at the point of service.

    This combination is particularly valuable for retailers, quick‑service restaurants, and small businesses that rely on fast, uninterrupted scanning without frequent recharging interruptions.

  • Seamless app compatibility and easy setup: The SocketScan® S740 is designed with native support for Socket Mobile scanners in many leading apps, and it integrates smoothly with Shopify, Square, ShopKeep, and many other platforms. This means you can add scanning to your existing POS or mobile app without major investments in new software. Setup is straightforward—pair the device, choose your preferred scan mode, and start capturing data. The S740’s compatibility also extends to enterprise ecosystems, enabling centralized inventory control, mobile sales, and faster fulfillment processes across multiple channels.

    With its dependable performance and broad ecosystem support, the S740 helps unify your omnichannel strategy, delivering consistent data capture across devices and locations.
