CONNECTION WITH USB CABLE VCOM MODE

Move the selector switch located on the USB cable to position VCOM.

Windows Only:- Connect the USB cable to a vacant USB port on your

computer, the new hardware wizard starts. At this stage wait until the

message "Your hardware is installed and ready to use" is displayed.

Start a Web browser, go to

download the Microvision USBVCOM Driver.

When the download is complete, double-click the installer, wait until the finish button is active, click Finish.

When the warning message about unsigned drivers appears, click continue.

When the installer window disappears the installation is complete.

NOTE:

If the USB cable is disconnected it is important to ensure that the cable is reconnected to the

same physical port. If a different port is used it will be necessary to reinstall the USBVCOM driver.

Now connect the other end of the USB cable to the serial port on your ROV Scanner.

WARNING:

When using the USB cable for interfacing the ROV MS2200 scanner it is recommended

that the mode of operation (KBD or VCOM) is carefully selected and adhered to. If the mode of operation

is switched frequently it can lead to system errors that may require restarting the system.

CONNECTION WITH SERIAL CABLE

Connect the serial cable to a vacant serial port on your host computer.

Connect the other end of the serial cable to the serial port on your ROV Scanner. (That's it).

NOTE:

Before using the serial cable or the USB cable in VCOM serial mode, ensure that your host

application is able to communicate with the serial port to receive the bar code data. If the host application

is unable to communicate with the serial port it may be necessary to use the USB cable in KBD mode or

to use Scanner Wedge software.

The Microvision Scanner Wedge Software Utility

Microvision's Scanner Wedge software will enable you to connect the ROV MS2200 scanner to a host

computer and capture bar code data. Scanner Wedge receives the bar code data from the ROV scanner

and translates the data into keyboard input. Essentially Scanner Wedge acts as an intermediary between

the ROV scanner and the

or the USB cable set to VCOM serial mode.

Microvision's freely available Scanner Wedge software can be downloaded from Dataman Barcode

System's web site at www.datamanbarcode.com.au. See page for Portable Barcode Readers.

NOTE:

If Scanner Wedge is engaged to communicate with a Windows® application it will be necessary

to always ensure that Scanner Wedge is started and running before the Windows® application is used.

In contrast this requirement becomes unnecessary when the ROV scanner is interfaced using the USB

cable in HID KBD mode. Scanner Wedge is not required for USB in HID KBD mode.

For instruction on operation of Microvision "Scanner Wedge" see separate manual,

Even if the serial cable is not used for normal day to day operation it should still be retained. Periodic

revisions and updates to the ROV firmware can occur, updates can be undertaken by the user and are

accessed from Microvision's web site and are directly communicated to the ROV via the serial cable.
