Chapter 5 USB Interface
Introduction
There are four options for USB connection.
1. USB HID-KBW: The scanner’s transmission is simulated as USB keyboard input with no need for command
configuration ora driver. The barcode data could be entered by the virtual keyboard directly and it is also convenient
for the host device to receive data.
2. USB DataPipe: USB DataPipe is a transport protocol developed by Newland Auto-ID Tech, which requires
installation of a specific driver on the host device. The DataPipe driver for Windows is available at
http://www.newlandaidc.com.
3. USB COM Port Emulation: The USB port on the Host is emulated as a RS-232 port with the same data transmission
and configuration as a real RS-232 port. This mode is based on USB DataPipe protocol and requires a driver, too.
4. USB CDC: The USB CDC feature allows the host device to receive data in the way as a serial port does. A driver is
needed when using this feature.
5. HID-POS: It is based on the HID interface, with no need of a custom driver. It excels virtual keyboard and traditional
RS-232 interface in transmission speed.
When the scanner is connected to both USB and RS-232 ports on a host device, it will select the USB connection by
default.
USB HID-KBW
When the scanner is connected to the USB port on a host device, you can enable the USB HID-KBW feature by scanning
the barcode below. Then scanner’s transmission will be simulated as USB keyboard input. The Host receives keystrokes
onthe virtual keyboard. It works on a Plug and Play basis and no driver is required.
** USB HID-KBW
If the host device allows keyboard input, then no extra software is needed for HID-KBW input.
