COPY & PASTE
The optional Copy & Paste function enables seamless, high-speed copying of files and
text from one Windows 10 computer to another. For details about using this feature,
please see page 24.
There are two ways to use the Copy & Paste function:
Mode 1: Using the internal COM Device - used for transferring only text, up to 1,000
characters and requires no external storage device.
Mode 2: Using an external USB Device - can transfer files as well as text.
To use either of these options, you first need to download and install a small driver file
onto all computers that are required to use the Copy & Paste function. You then need to
enable the required mode: COM Device (see right) or USB Device (see page 19).
Installing the Copy & Paste driver
This stage needs to be carried out regardless of the chosen mode.
To install the driver
1 Connect the computers and user peripherals to the various ports of the multi-viewer
switch, as discussed earlier in this chapter.
Note: Ensure all devices and computers are connected prior to powering the multi-viewer
switch on. Some devices, such as user displays, are not recognized if connected after the
switch is already powered on.
2 Download the Copy & Paste driver file from the Adder website:
www.adder.com
3 Install the driver file separately onto each computer that will use the Copy & Paste
function. Once the software has been installed successfully, a software shortcut will
appear on the desktop and a setup icon will appears on the taskbar of each computer.
4 You now need to enable the required Copy & Paste option:
• COM device uses the multi-viewer COMputer on-board memory (see right).
• USB device uses an external USB memory device (flash drive) for copying larger
amounts of data - see page 19.
Enabling the COM Device mode
(If you wish to enable the USB Device mode, see the next page.)
This mode allows you to copy & paste up to 1,000 plain text characters using the
switch's memory for storage. It is designed to support the quick transfer of short text
information between sources, such as telephone numbers, emails, web links, etc.
To enable the COM Device mode
1 Carry out these steps once on just one of the host computers:
a Open the Notepad app (or any other text editor) and press:
Left Ctrl then Right Ctrl then t
b Ignore the menu text that appears and press:
Left Ctrl then Right Ctrl then x
c Close the Notepad app.
2 Carry out these steps on every computer that will use the Copy & Paste function:
a Press: Left Ctrl then Right Ctrl then q
b From the taskbar on the desktop, locate the setup icon, and right-click on it to open
the menu below:
c Click Settings and in the window that opens, click Show advanced settings.
d From the additional tabs that open, choose the COM Device tab.
e In the window that opens, tick the Use COM Device checkbox and click OK.
