![]() ![]() I would say that Square's hardware compatibility chart is correct in listing what works and doesn't work with each configuration. ![]() Granted that the Ipads used in Square Stands have a lightning connector while the newest Ipad Pros have a USB C (which was my setup for testing), I think the results would be the same if I tested a standalone Ipad with a generic lightning to USB hub. Again, without the Square engineers input, it is not known whether this is due to something in the software, stand or the hub or a combination of them. This leads me to believe there is something more going on here than just different hardware connections. This is similar to how scanners work with Android tablets as I have found in testing.įurthermore, I've tried connecting a generic USB hub to the Square Stand USB hub (used in the regular Square Stand configuration) and the same devices which are recognized and usable when connected directly to the Square Stand USB hub do not work when connected to the generic USB hub. The scanner does input the barcode numbers on the item search screen area, but it does not automatically add the product to the cart as it does when using it with the Square Stand. In the Standalone Ipad setup the printer and scanner does not show up in settings. ![]() My results are that the same hardware (printer and scanner) approved for the Square Stand does not work with the Ipad Pro using a usb hub. I've tried a Standalone Ipad setup with a usb hub using an Ipad Pro 12.9 in., and I have a Square Stand with a 6th Generation Ipad in it. However, it is not known whether there is a software aspect involved with the Square Stand and/or the Square POS software which allows only specified hardware to work in this configuration. It is proprietary in the way the connections are made from the lightning connector in the stand to the micro usb connector connecting the usb hub to the stand. ![]()
