Interface Selection

This decoder built-in scanner comes in one model and

supports interfaces such as RS232 serial, USB virtual COM

and USB HID. In most of the cases, simply selecting an

appropriate cable and configure the proper interface by following

interface selection.

Interface selection:

You can change factory interface default

(USB Virtual COM ) for other type interface. By plugging

different cables, setting right interface, then scan the interface

barcode, power cycle the scanner will be changed to another

interface. However, you must make sure which cable you need.

RS-232 Interface

USB HID (PC)

USB HID (MAC)
