Socket Mobile SocketScan S720 | Bluetooth 1D/2D Barcode Scanner + Charging Dock | Apple MFi | Auto Scan Mode | White + White Dock
Overview
The Socket Mobile SocketScan S720 White + White Dock kit (CX3990-3047) is the all-white variant of the S720 Bluetooth 1D/2D barcode scanner bundle — designed for environments where the white finish matters aesthetically: Apple-style retail, medical/pharmacy counters, hospitality, and clean-look POS setups. Functionally identical to the Blue + Black Dock kit, it includes the same S720 scanner and charging dock, enabling both handheld Bluetooth scanning and docked hands-free Auto Scan (presentation) mode.
The S720 reads all popular 1D and 2D barcode types — QR codes, DataMatrix, PDF417, and standard 1D codes — from printed labels and mobile screens. Apple MFi certified, it pairs natively with iOS devices and integrates into over 700 applications via Socket Mobile's CaptureSDK.

Use Cases
Apple-Style Retail POS: The all-white finish matches iPad POS setups and Apple-aesthetic retail counters. Dock provides Auto Scan for loyalty card and barcode scanning; pick up for handheld use when needed.
Pharmacy & Healthcare Reception: White colour suits clinical environments. Reads prescription barcodes, patient wristbands (when displayed on screen), and medication labels. MFi certified for iPad-based clinical apps.
Hospitality & Hotel Front Desk: Scans QR codes, loyalty barcodes, and event tickets on white countertops where a black scanner would stand out negatively. Auto Scan mode handles check-in without staff needing to pick up the scanner.
Clean-Room & Specialist Environments: Where visual cleanliness matters — white equipment blends with the environment and is easier to monitor for hygiene compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the White S720 functionally different from the other colour variants?
No. All S720 variants share the same scanning engine, Bluetooth implementation, CaptureSDK integration, and performance specs. Colour is purely aesthetic — every application and configuration that works on the Black, Blue, or Yellow S720 works identically on the White variant.
What does the white dock do — is it just for charging?
The dock charges the scanner and activates Auto Scan (presentation) mode — the scanner continuously reads any barcode placed within range without pressing the trigger. This hands-free mode is useful for customer-facing scanning at a counter where the scanner stays in one place.
Does the S720 White work with Shopify and Square?
Yes. The S720 is natively supported in Shopify POS, Square POS, and hundreds of other retail and business applications via Socket Mobile's CaptureSDK integration. In HID keyboard emulation mode it also works with any text-field-based application without special integration.
Can the white dock be used with a different colour S720?
Yes. The dock is mechanically compatible with all S720 variants regardless of colour. If you have a Black or Blue S720 from another kit and prefer a white dock, this dock will work with it.
