Common connection modes

  1. USB HID (Keyboard emulation)

    • Scanner types input as keystrokes into any text field.
    • No driver usually required on modern OSes.
    • Best for quick plug-and-play use.

  2. USB CDC / Virtual COM Port (Serial over USB)

    • Scanner appears as COM port; software reads barcode data from serial port.
    • Requires a CDC driver or built-in OS driver.
    • Use when an app expects serial input or for configuring device via serial commands.

  3. Bluetooth (HID or SPP)

    • HID = keyboard emulation over Bluetooth (no driver).
    • SPP = serial profile; may need drivers or pairing process; use when serial comms required.

  4. SDK/API

    • Manufacturer SDKs provide libraries for advanced features: firmware update, configuration, batch upload, custom modes.
    • Use when building integrated applications.
