Using Your Device Through USB

If you connect your reader with the coiled USB cable, you must use your device in USB 1.1 mode. With a straight USB cable, you can use your device in both modes.

Change the USB Connection in the Serial tab of the Communication Settings pane in DataMan Setup Tool, or scan the appropriate code from the DataMan Configuration Codes document.

You can also switch the USB mode (CDC or HID) of both the reader and the base station with a pair of RP codes. Perform the following steps:

In the case of a corded reader:

  1. Disconnect from the DataMan Setup Tool if you are connected.
  2. Scan the “USB Keyboard” code from the DataMan Configuration Codes document.
  3. Start scanning codes with your corded reader.

In the case of a wireless reader:

  1. Disconnect from the DataMan Setup Tool if you are connected.
  2. Scan the “Enable USB Keyboard for the base station” code from the DataMan Configuration Codes document.
  3. Start scanning codes with your wireless reader.
