17.11 Windows PCs

Before connecting the Orbit Reader 20 Plus with a PC, you must first decide how
you wish to connect: Bluetooth or USB. This is a personal choice. USB charges
the device as you use it, so it is a good choice when your battery is low.
Bluetooth does not use wires, so it is a good choice when you are on the go.

Connecting Windows with USB

If your screen reader does not support HID, switch to the Serial protocol on the
Orbit Reader 20 Plus with the hotkey or selecting Serial from the USB option in
the menu.
For Windows versions 7 and newer, the serial interface requires the installation
of two drivers: one for the USB and one to make the USB port appear like a COM
port. The only exception is Windows XP. Because it is Serial only, it can just be
plugged in. The second driver is required because many screens reading
programs handle braille displays like a serial device. The COM port assignment
driver shows the assigned port number used to communicate with the display.
Take a note of the COM port number for later use. If you need to look at it later,
go to Device Manager while the display is connected and look in the section for
Ports: COM and LPT. One of the COM ports is assigned to the Orbit Reader 20
Plus. You need to use that number when you set up your screen reader.
Once the display is connected to the device you wish to use, configure the
software to use the Orbit Reader 20 Plus.
