USB
The USB interface is a Communication Device Class that opens a virtual COM Port,
which operates as though the COM was an RS232 device. The USB communication
uses the Windows USB-CDC driver included in Windows 2000 & XP operating systems. ID
TECH provides an INF file for use with the CDC driver. This file provides the operating
parameters, the Vendor Identification (VID), and the Product Identification (PID). The VID =
0ACD and the PID = 0700. The INF file is included in the WorkShop Software CD
provided with the product. Note: Windows XP with Service Pack 1 has a bug that can cause
intermittent problems; use Service Pack 2.
The EzWriter with USB communications is a "Self-Powered" USB device.
The EzWriter
must be connected to the power adaptor supplied.
Connect the USB connector to the PC and insure it is fully seated into the jack.
Connect
the power adapter output to the power connector on the USB cable.
Finally, connect the
power adaptor to the AC line power outlet.
When power is applied, the LED is orange for
a moment and then becomes green. If the USB connector is unplugged, the LED will turn
off.
If the LED does not light, check the connections and the availability of power from the
power outlet.
When the USB connection is recognized by the operating system for the first time, a
Found New Hardware message is given. The operating system must install the EzWriter INF
setup file, {MsrwUsb232.inf} for the system to communicate with the EzWriter.
The New Hardware Wizard window appears.
Follow the directions and the wizard
properly installs the INF setup information into the operating system.
Select the "No, not this time" button and Click Next > to continue.
Then select the "Install
from a list or specific location (advanced)" button and button and Click Next > to continue.
