Using a USB Mass Storage Device
You can use a USB mass storage device (thumb drive) to store
additional fonts and images for the printer. You can also use the
device to upgrade your firmware. For more information on using the
USB mass storage device to upgrade the printer, see “Upgrading
Firmware” on page 104.
Connecting a Keyboard to the USB Host Port
You can use an external USB keyboard to input data in Fingerprint
applications. Some applications may require more complex input
from users than the simple push of a button.
The printer comes with five keyboard layouts: US, Swedish, French,
German, and User Defined.
To change the keyboard layout
1 Plug your USB keyboard into the USB host connector on the back
of the printer.
2 Turn on the printer.
3 On your printer keypad, press T.
4 Navigate to COM > USB KEYBOARD.
5 Choose a keyboard layout.
6 Exit Setup mode by pressing T again.
Connecting a Bar Code Scanner to the USB Host Port
If your printer is running Fingerprint, you can connect a HID
(Human Interface Device) bar code scanner to the printer. The
“usbhost:” device receives data from the scanner the same way it does
from a USB keyboard. You can then use this data in a Fingerprint
application.
The keyboard layout you choose (see the previous procedure) applies
for connected scanners too.
