5.4 USB Communication

are transmitted without a dedicated device driver in the MTP connection.

Install the Active USB-COM port driver to the host computer.

Even though our USB device (e.g., CU, scanner) has been used, the Active USB-COM port driver has
been installed, and the USB port has been allocated as a COM port, the USB port is not recognized as a
COM port even by connecting the BHT-900 to the port.
