2.1 Operating Environment for the Use of USB Interface

Using the scanner via the USB interface requires a host computer equipped with a USB port. The operating environment
differs depending upon whether you use the USB-COM interface or USB keyboard interface as listed below. (Plugging the
USB interface cable in the scanner automatically switches to the USB-COM interface by default.)
USB-COM interface:
(Default Setting)
USB keyboard interface:
Host computer
USB driver
Note: For the compatible operating systems, see QBdirect.
The interface can be switched between the USB-COM interface and USB keyboard interface by using either the:
- Using QR-coded parameter menu (provided in Chapter 12),
- Using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) *
If the Active USB-COM port driver is not installed in the computer, (1) connect the scanner's USB interface cable to the
computer or its USB hub, and (2) press the trigger switch for more than two seconds.
However, this applies only when the USB-COM interface is set up, in which case the interface can be switched from the
USB-COM interface to the USB keyboard interface. Switching the interface vice versa is not supported.
(2) Press the trigger
switch key for two
seconds or more.
The interface setting will be retained even if the scanner is turned off.
Note: For approx. 20 seconds after switching from the USB-COM interface to the USB keyboard interface, the
scanner cannot accept data entry.
* Registered users can download the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) from QBNet, their customer support section on the
Denso Wave website at no extra charge.
