How to Change Interface Modes and Restore Default Settings

Interface Types

The L46XS supports USB-HID and USB-VCP interface types.

USB-HID Keyboard Emulation

This will be the most convenient interface for you to use as it doesn't require the use of special drivers or software. You can simply place your cursor where you want the barcode data to go, point, and scan.

To use this interface click on Interface Mode: and scan the USB-HID barcode to configure the L46XS in USB-HID keyboard mode.

USB-VCP Serial Port Emulation

If your software requires the use of a serial port to transmit and receive data, then you must choose this mode if you own a L46XS. First, download and install our USB Drivers, then click on Interface Mode: and scan the USB-VCP barcode to configure the L46XS in USB-VCP mode. After this, your PC will automatically detect that the L46XS is connected in Serial Port mode and will install the correct drivers.
