configured at the factory and can be purchased from ELITechGroup.

The use of a barcode reader other than the barcode reader supplied by ELITechGroup is not
recommended because potential incompatibilities cannot be ruled out.

defined in the ANSI X3.4-1986 standard:

USB port driver
A software driver is required to use the USB port. There are two methods for installing the driver:
• Automatic: Connect the device to the PC using the USB cable and switch on the device. The
operating system of the PC detects the interface, automatically installs the required software driver and
notifies the user that installation was successful. The USB port can now be used as an additional COM
interface.
• Manual: The PC does not automatically detect the device or the operating system is missing the
required software driver. In this case, please contact the service team at ELITechGroup for the driver.
The device can output the recorded measurement results via the COM2 (RS232)
serial data port in the middle or the USB port.
To select the data port, select Settings
following screen lets you select between COM2 and USB.
