Configuring the Interface

The scanner supports USB as the host interface. Upon completing the physical connection between the scanner and its host, select the desired Interface option (USB HID KBD is default) by scanning the appropriate bar code to select your system’s interface type.

If you want to customize additional settings and features associated with the USB interface, proceed to the corresponding chapter in the HP Retail Integrated Barcode Scanner PRG.

NOTE: Unlike some other programming features and options, USB type selections require that you scan only one programming bar code label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode prior to scanning an interface selection bar code. Interface USB-OEM requires the scanner to start in the disabled state when powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired while in this state, it will be necessary to enable the scanner or use the configuration utility for further programming.
