Setting Up The Usb-Com Interface - Denso GT10B-SU User Manual

3.2 Setting up the USB-COM Interface

Using the USB-COM interface requires installing the USB-COM device driver provided by DENSO WAVE to the host
computer. The driver can be downloaded for free from our website at:
http://www.denso-wave.com/
The file downloaded contains the USB-COM device driver and uninstaller which are compressed. It is a self-extracting file.
Store the file into a folder and then double-click its icon to extract it.
If you connect the interface cable (USB cable) to the host computer, the system-supplied driver setup wizard will
automatically run. Follow the wizard and install the USB-COM device driver.
The setup procedure on each of Windows 98SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP is described on the
following pages.
Notes for installing the USB-COM device driver
If our USB-COM device driver has not been installed on your computer, do not connect the scanner to the USB port
before or when you switch the computer on. Connecting it at such timing will start installing our USB device driver
during booting, so the driver installation may not be completed successfully.
When you use the scanner first via the USB-COM interface, connect the scanner via the USB keyboard interface once
and then switch to the USB-COM interface by scanning the following bar code:
If it is impossible to install our USB-COM device driver, any similar USB device driver may have been already
installed on your computer. If it has, remove the USB device driver from the device manager and install our USB-COM
device driver. Note that before the removal, you should confirm that the currently installed USB device driver is not
used for other USB devices.
If you are using any DENSO WAVE USB device operated by our USB-COM device driver, no driver installation is
required since the USB-COM device driver already installed on your computer will be automatically used.
If you want to install a new USB-COM device driver, uninstall the previously installed similar driver using the
dedicated uninstaller before installing a new one.
Store the Windows 98SE/Me device driver file (dwcom9x.ini, dwcom9x.sys, dwport.ini, and dwport.vxd) and Windows
2000/XP device driver file (dwcom.ini and dwcom.sys) in separate folders. (That is, do not extract those driver files in
the same folder.)
When installing device drivers, be sure to specify the driver designed for the Windows version running on the host
computer. Installing any driver designed for different Windows versions might damage the system.
<If you have installed or attempted to install any wrong driver:>
Windows 98SE: Choose View | Options and select "Show hidden files."
Windows Me/2000/XP: Choose Tools | Folder Options and select "Show hidden files and folders" and clear the "Hide
protected operating system files" check box.
And then, follow the recovery procedure given below.
