 QK11-U USB Driver Installation

This scanner can communicate with PC via the USB-COM interface.

Install the USB device driver contained in the provided CD-ROM for communications via

USB-COM interface: You can also download the newest version of this driver from

DENSO WAVE website:

http://www.denso-wave.com/

The downloaded, compressed file contains the driver and uninstaller. Store the file in the

desired folder, and double-click the file icon: The file can then be self-extracted.

Connect the scanner interface cable to the USB port of PC: “Add New Hardware

Wizard” will automatically start. Set up the USB device driver according to the wizard

screen.

The next and subsequent pages will show the procedures for setting up the driver on

each OS: Windows 98SE, Me, 2000 or XP.

 Cautions when connecting USB cable

• It will take five to ten seconds for PC to recognize USB-COM device:

Therefore, wait for ten seconds or more to disconnect or connect USB-COM

connector again after the connector is connected or disconnected.

• USB connector can be connected or disconnected even when the power of PC is ON.

However, do not connect or disconnect USB connector when PC is in the standby

(suspended) mode.

• Do not connect or disconnect any other USB devices while processing connection of

our USB device.

• If USB cable is disconnected during communication, not only will data be lost but the

system may be affected. Therefore, do not disconnect USB cable during

communication.

• Directly connect QK11-U to USB port of PC or self-power hub. If it cannot be

connected to hub (depending on type of hub) and operation is not stable, connect it

directly to USB port of PC.

 Cautions when installing USB device driver

• If the DENSO WAVE USB-COM driver has not yet been installed, do not connect

QK11-U to USB port of PC when turning PC on: Since installation of USB driver starts

during startup of Windows, the installation will not proceed properly.

• If you are already using our USB-COM products with our USB-COM driver, the

USB-COM driver installed can be used for QK11-U, and new installation is not

necessary.

If you want to install a new driver, use the designated uninstaller to uninstall the

previously installed driver.

• When installing the driver, be sure to specify the folder in which the driver

corresponding to your Windows version has been installed. If the driver for a different

version has been installed, use the Folder Options window to choose “Show all files”

or “Do not show hidden files and folders”, and then perform the following.

- If the driver for Windows

2000/XP has been installed in Windows

98SE/Me PC:

(1) Open Device Manager and delete DENSO WAVE USB-COM Port with

attached.

(2) If these files are in the following folders, delete them:

C:\Windows\Inf\Other\ DENSO WAVEdwcom.inf

C:\Windows\Inf\ Dwcom.inf,Dwcom.pnf,

Dwcom9x.inf,Dwcom9.pnf,

Dwport.inf,Dwport.pnf

C:\Windows\System\ Dwport.vxd

C:\Windows\Sytem32\drivers\ Dwport.sys

(3) Restart the PC.

- If the driver for Windows

98/98SE/Me has been installed in Windows

2000/XP

PC.

(1) Open Device Manager and delete USB Device QK11-U.

(2) Delete the Oem*.inf file that has the same contents as Dwcom9x.inf from

C:\Winnt\Inf folder. (To search for the file, use Notepad to open Dwcom9x.inf

on CD, and copy the character string in the first row. Then open the

C:\Winnt\Inf folder, use the “Search” window to paste the character string on

the “A word or phrase in the file” column, and then click the Search button.)

(3) Delete Oem*.pnf from the above folder (* is the same number as that of the

above deleted file).

(4) If these files are in the following folders, delete them.

C:\Winn\Inf\ Dwcom.inf,Dwcom.pnf,

Dwcom9x.inf,Dwcom9.pnf,

Dwport.inf,Dwport.pnf

C:\Windows\System\ Dwport.vxd

C:\Windows\Sytem32\drivers\ Dwcom9x.sys

Note: With Windows

XP, C:\Windows\ appears instead of C:\Winnt\.

(5) Restart the PC.

After performing the above, install the driver again.

• Be sure to store the driver for Windows

98SE/Me (dwcom9x.ini, dwcom9x.sys,

dwport.ini, dwport.vxd) and the driver for Windows

2000/XP (dwcom.ini, dwcom.sys)

in different folders. (Do not uncompress the driver for Windows

98SE/Me and the

driver for Windows

2000/XP in the same folder.)

• If our USB-COM driver cannot be installed, a similar USB-COM driver has possibly

been used. In this case, delete the corresponding USB-COM driver from device

manager and then perform installation. However, before deleting, make sure that the

corresponding USB driver is not used for other devices.
