This scanner connects to your computer through the Universal Serial Bus (USB) which
supports HOT PLUG AND PLAY. To determine whether your computer is USB-capable, you
must check the rear of your PC to locate a USB jack that looks like the picture below. If you
are having trouble in locating the USB port on your computer, please refer to the hardware
manual that came with your computer.
Upon examination, you should find one or two rectangular USB ports, which usually
appear as shown below.
If you don’t find such USB ports on your computer, then you need to purchase a certified
