SOFTWARE DRIVERS REQUIRED

If you are using the HID unit, the standard HID and Keyboard drivers that come with an
operating system are usually all that is needed. For example, the Windows operating system
provides all the drivers needed to communicate to the device, unless you requested that the
factory configure your MICRSafe device(s) to use a VCOM port. In that case, you would need to
download the VCOM driver from the MagTek website. This driver allows a USB device such as
the MICRSafe to appear as an additional COM port available to the PC, enabling application
software to access the USB device as if it were connected via a standard COM (RS-232) port.
