Scan the following code to program the engine for USB HID bar code scan-
ners.

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 

Default = 5 minutes.   

Scan one of the following codes to program the engine to emulate a regular 
RS232-based COM Port.  If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® PC, you 
will need to download a driver from the Honeywell website

.  The driver will use the next available COM Port 

number.  Apple® Macintosh computers recognize the engine as a USB 
CDC class device and automatically uses a class driver.
