3.1 CONNECTING VIA 3656

Use the interface cable to connect the scanner via 3656 to PC. You can have up to seven
scanners connected to one computer at the same time.
Note: If you are using USB Virtual COM for the first time, you must install its driver from
the CD-ROM. Driver version 5.3 or later is required. Please remove older versions!

3.1.1 CONNECT TO 3656

By default, the interface of 3656 is set to "USB HID". You can connect any scanner to
3656 by having the scanner read the two labels at the back of 3656. The scanner will
respond with one beep upon reading each of the labels.
"Set Connection" label
"Serial Number" label
After reading these labels, the scanner will stay active for a specified period of time (2
minutes by default) trying to connect to the 3656 stand while its LED is flashing blue
(On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s). Once connected, the scanner will respond with three beeps
(tone ascending from low to high), and the LED becomes flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.02
s: 3 s). When getting out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (tone
descending from high to low).
Read the "Set Connection" label first, and then the "Serial Number" label. If the "Set
Connection" label on 3656 is illegible, try this one —
Note: The 3656 settings will overwrite the interface-related settings on the scanners that
are currently connected to 3656.
