USB device type:
HID keyboard– By setting, the imager is used as a USB HID keyboard emulation device.
USB virtual COM– By setting, the imager emulates a regular RS232-based COM port. If a
Microsoft Windows PC is connected to the imager, a driver is required to install on the connected
PC. The driver will use the next available COM Port number. The driver and the installation
guide can be found in the associated CD and on the manufacturer’s website. A Windows-based
software COM_Text is recommended to display the barcode data in text format. COM_Text
emulates some kind of serial-key typing.
Note: When changing USB Device Type, the imager automatically restarts.
Simple COM Port Emulation- Please contact the manufacturer for the instruction.
Keyboard layout: The imager supports different national keyboard layouts.

the user can change the output speed of the imager to match the speed of the host USB
communication port.
