Connecting COMP CT M X to a PC via the USB port
■
Connect COMPACT MAX to your PC using the USB cable provided with the scanner.
■
To access the ID codes stored in the reader's memory via USB, the reader must be turned off. Up to 4'000 ID codes can be stored
in reader. The scanner memory is accessible thanks to S-ID companion SW.
Alternatively, the content of the scanner's memory is accessible using Windows Explorer: the scanner is seen by the PC like a
standard USB stick. The codes are stored in the file named "Session.txt".
■
If the reader is turned ON while connected to a PC, the reader will behave as a PC peripheral and ID Codes will be sent to the PC
via the USB cable at each reading.
Two interfaces are supported, as described in the "Icons Legend of the Settings menu":
Keyboard wedge: the reader is seen by the PC as a keyboard. The codes will be displayed on the PC screen in any window
where a mouse cursor is active. No configuration on the PC is needed.
VCP: reader is connected to one of the Virtual Com Ports of the PC and sends the codes using RS232 protocol.
Codes are received on a hyper-terminal or using Datamars S-ID SW.
