Chapter 2 Preparation

2.1 Operating Environment for the Use of USB Interface

Using the scanner via the USB interface requires a host computer equipped with a USB port. The operating

environment differs depending upon whether you use the USB-COM interface or USB keyboard interface as listed

below.

USB-COM interface:

To use this interface, you need to install the dedicated Active USB-COM port driver (virtual COM port driver) to the

host computer. This interface allows you to use the scanner in applications using the conventional serial port. For

instructions on how to set up the driver, refer to Chapter 3, Section 3.2.1. For the interface specifications, refer to

Chapter 9, Section 9.2.

This interface is selected by default.

USB keyboard interface:

No dedicated USB device driver is required. Via this interface, data scanned by the scanner can be entered to the

cursor position in your application. For instructions on how to set up the driver, refer to Chapter 3, Section 3.2.2. For

the interface specifications, refer to Chapter 9, Section 9.3.

You can switch between the USB-COM interface and USB keyboard interface by using the QR-coded parameter

menu (provided in Chapter 12) or the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D)*.

To use the USB-COM interface

(factory default):

To use the USB keyboard interface:

Host computer PC/AT or AT/AT compatible PC equipped with a USB port

Operating System (OS) Windows 2000 Professional

Windows XP Professional, x32 Edition

Windows Vista, x32 Edition

USB driver Active USB-COM port driver

provided by DENSO WAVE

OS-supplied device driver

Note: The scanner cannot be used on Windows NT that does not support any USB device.

Switching between the USB-COM interface and USB keyboard interface is possible by:

- Using QR-coded parameter menu (provided in Chapter 12),

- Using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D),* or

- Connecting the scanner's USB interface cable to the host computer or USB hub with the trigger switch being held

down. (If the USB-COM interface has been set up, doing so switches to the USB keyboard interface, and vice

versa.)

The interface setting will be retained even if the scanner is turned off.

Note: For approx. 20 seconds after switching from the USB-COM interface to the USB keyboard interface, the

scanner cannot accept data entry.

* Registered users can download the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D)

from QBNet, their customer

support section on the Denso Wave website at no extra charge.
