USB HID
Scan the following code to program the engine for USB HID bar code scan-
ners.
HID Fallback Mode
If you attempt to set a USB interface for your engine, but the setup fails on
the host system, you can program the engine to fall back to a HID keyboard
interface after a set length of time. For example, if the engine is configured
for Serial Emulation Mode, but the host system does not have the correct
driver, the engine would fail. If you set the HID Fallback Mode for a set
length of time, for example, 5 minutes, the engine would change to a HID
keyboard interface after 5 minutes of trying to configure as serial emula-
tion.
A unique beep sequence indicates that this mode has been entered. While
in HID Fallback Mode, the engine will not scan normal bar codes and
sounds a unique beep sequence that indicates the engine is in Fallback
Mode. Menu codes can still be scanned while in HID Fallback Mode, allow-
ing you to change the engine’s programming.
Scan the bar code below, then set the length for the HID Fallback (from 0-
60 minutes) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning
Save.
Default = 5 minutes.
