Chapter 3 Preparation (QB30-SU)
Using the scanner via the USB interface requires a host computer equipped with a USB port. The operating environment
differs depending upon whether you use the USB-COM interface or USB keyboard interface as listed below.
USB-COM interface:
To use this interface, you need to install the dedicated Active USB-COM port driver (virtual COM port driver) to the host
computer. This interface allows you to use the scanner in applications using the conventional serial port. For instructions on
how to set up the driver, refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.2.1. For the interface specifications, refer to Chapter 12, Section 12.2.
This interface is selected by default.
USB keyboard interface:
No dedicated USB device driver is required. Via this interface, data scanned by the scanner can be entered to the cursor
position in your application. For instructions on how to set up the driver, refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.2.2. For the interface
specifications, refer to Chapter 12, Section 12.3.
You can switch between the USB-COM interface and USB keyboard interface by using the QR-coded parameter menu
(provided in Chapter 12) or the configuration software (QB Setting)*.
