Connecting the IT 1911i / IT 1981i to the USB interface (COM port emulation)
The operation of the hand-held scanner as a serial interface on a USB port is described in this chapter. With this operating mode,
a COM interface is emulated. The read data are sent to a new COM interface. The drivers with which this COM interface is emu-
lated can be downloaded from our homepage at
www.leuze.com
. Thus, the data can be processed further in programs which
expect data via COM interfaces.
