The scanner requires a host computer equipped with a USB port (Version 1.1 or later). The operating environment differs
depending upon whether you use the USB keyboard interface or USB-COM interface as listed below.

No dedicated USB device driver is required. Via this interface, data scanned by the scanner can be entered to the cursor
position in your application. For instructions how to set up the device driver, refer to Chapter 3, Section 3.1. For the
interface specifications, refer to Chapter 11, Section 11.1.
This interface is selected by default.
