4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide 1 - 5

USB COM Port Emulation

Scan the following code to program the imager to emulate a regular RS-232-

based COM port. If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® PC, you will need to

download a driver from the Hand Held Products website (www.handheld.com).

The driver will use the next available COM port number. Apple® Macintosh

computers recognize the imager as a USB CDC class device and automatically

use a class driver. Scanning the code below changes the terminal ID to 130.

Note: No extra configuration (e.g., baud rate) is necessary.

CTS/RTS Emulation

ACK/NAK Mode

Reading Techniques

The 4800p scans bar codes and also captures images. It can be used with or

without a stand.
