Do I have to use a squar stand to be able to hook up a scanner and printer?  I have an I pad Mini but already have a scanner and don't want to buy a stand if i don't have to.

if you have a mini you can't buy a stand as it doesn't work with iPad minis.

what barcode scanner do you have?  what printer do you have?
