USB Host Parameters

USB Device Type

Select the USB device type.
•
HID Keyboard Emulation (default) - The scanner emulates a USB keyboard. Upon a successful decode, the
scanner transmits bar code data to the console as if the data was typed on a keyboard. Most USB drivers
support HID Keyboard Emulation so no special drivers are required.
•
IBM Table Top USB - Use this to connect table top scanners to a cash register with IBM OEM specification
compliant drivers (supplied by the cash register vendor). The Point-of-Service (POS) device vendor provides
the required IBM Table Top USB drivers. Check with the POS vendor to verify these drivers.
•
IBM Hand-Held USB - Use this to connect hand-held scanners to a cash register with IBM OEM
specification compliant drivers (supplied by the cash register vendor). The Point-of-Service (POS) device
vendor provides the required IBM Hand-Held USB drivers. Check with the POS vendor to verify these
drivers.
NOTE When connecting two scanners to a host, IBM does not permit selecting two of the same device types. If
you require two connections, select IBM Table Top USB for one scanner and IBM Hand-Held USB for the
second scanner.
•
USB OPOS Hand-Held - Use this with Symbol's OPOS/JPOS compliant drivers, available from Support
Central at http://support.symbol.com. Motorola only supports one OPOS connection per host.
•
Simple COM Port Emulation - Download a Motorola driver from Support Central at
http://support.symbol.com. Connecting the scanner to the host automatically selects the next available com
port, emulating a one-way RS-232 connection. This does not support handshaking, and requires no baud
settings.
NOTE When changing USB Device Types, the scanner automatically restarts. The scanner issues the standard
startup beep sequences.
