USB device type:
HID keyboard– By setting, the platform is used as a USB HID keyboard emulation device.
USB virtual COM– By setting, the platform emulates a regular RS232-based COM port. If a Microsoft
Windows PC is connected to the platform, a driver is required to install on the connected PC. The
driver will use the next available COM Port number. The driver and the installation guide can be
found in the associated CD and on the manufacturer’s website. A Windows-based software
COM_Text is recommended to display the barcode data in text format. COM_Text emulates some
kind of serial-key typing.
Note: When changing USB Device Type, the platform automatically restarts.
Simple COM Port Emulation- Please contact the manufacturer for the instruction.
