You need to be cautious with cabled scaners on mobile devices like tablets for a few reasons.

+

*Some tablets don't support USB host communication, some do.

+

*If the tablet does support USB host communications but it doesn't come with a full sized USB connector, you will also have to purchase a USB-OTG cable.

+

*Even if their tablet does support USB host communicaiton there will still be limitations on how much power can be drawn from a USB port. Our scanner simply won't power on if it doesn't get enough power.

+

These are all things someone will have to take into consideration for the end user to have a positive experience. Our products list their power consumption in the specification manuals to ensure compatibility research your tablet and then look up the power consumption for the cabled scanner.
