Available Devices and Firmware

X-Station 2: v1.2.0 or above (* check model info)

BioStation 3:  v1.1.0 or above



As the use of QR or barcode as a means of user authentication increases, requests for function support using the device's camera have increased. Therefore, Suprema started to support the Camera QR feature on some of the latest devices with a camera.

  • Customers must apply for a device license to use the camera QR function.
  • X-Station 2 Camera QR feature is currently supported on models which do not have a QR sensor (XS2-DPB, XS2-ODPB, XS2-APB, XS2-OAPB) only.

  • To purchase a device license, list the S/N of all devices to which the license is to be applied and contact the Suprema Sales representative (supremainc.com).
  • The device's Serial Number is also called the device ID.
