Follow the instruction on the screen to complete the
installation.
The Virtual Com Port driver causes each connected USB
barcode reader to appear as a separate COM port in the PC. The
sj5000 reads and writes to these COM ports to trigger the
barcode readers and receive barcode strings.
1
Connect the barcode readers to the USB ports on the sj5000
PC.
Bear in mind that the driver has to be installed whenever a
barcode reader is connected to the PC. If you add another
barcode reader later, the driver will have to be installed
again.

Browse the Microscan Tool CD and double-click the
installation program \Accessories\VCPD\Driver\DPInst.exe.
In the dialog boxes that open, click Next, Continue Anyway, and

Finish to complete the installation.
