usb barcode scanner without stand

Is there a way to use a usb barcode scanner with the square pos app on an ipad without the square stand? I've got the SYMBOL LS2208 scanner (square compatible), a lightning to USB Camera adapter with power outlet as well. The scanner is powered, but it's not registering on the ipad.

Heya @Tracy10,

 

For the USB scanner, you'd need it to be connected to the Stand/hub for it to work. It won't work with the iPad without being connected to that. 

 

If it was a Bluetooth scanner, you'd be able to connect it via Bluetooth but the USB scanner has to be plugged into the Stand/hub.
