Do I have a 2D Scanner?

A 1D Scanner produces a laser line for its output and is NOT able to read the driver's license from the back of a driver's license. A 2D scanner produces a red field that looks like the light from a red flashlight.  On a 2D scanner, no line is visible.  Below is an example of the difference between a 1D scanner output and a 2D scanner output.  If you are in doubt, just go the Clover REGISTER app and pull out your drivers license and try to scan the large code in the middle of the drivers license. Be sure to hide the code on the side of the drivers license and ONLY scan the large code in the middle.  If your scanner beeps and your Clover pulls up a lot of "gibberish" when you scan the drivers license (there may be a slight delay of up to 5 seconds), then the scanner is a 2D scanner and is ALREADY setup. You don't need to set it up any further!
