5.2 Connecting the Reader to other devices via USB or Bluetooth
5.2.1 Connecting a PC to the Reader Using USB
1. Plug the Reader into a computer via USB port. A dialog will appear on the
Reader for 10 seconds when the USB connection is detected. This allows
the operator to choose a mode. The USB connection can operate in two
modes; native USB mode (default, no driver required), and legacy serial
(COM) port mode (driver required). Native USB mode is automatically
selected after 10 seconds if the user takes no action. Legacy mode is useful
when using the Reader with software that only supports COM ports. The
USB icon on the main screen will go blue once a connection has been
made.
2. Run the terminal application on your PC.
3. The “Send to PC” action in the “Actions Popup” (refer Section 5.1) will now
be available if this function is supported by the particular PC software in use.
Data can also be streamed to the PC. Commands can be sent to and from
the Reader (the available commands are listed later in this section).
NOTE: Additional information on installation of the driver(s) required for legacy
serial port mode are provided in Appendix B.
5.2.2 Connecting to the Reader Using Bluetooth
1. Use whatever Bluetooth software is installed in the PC to pair with the
device. It will be named "HPR-XX", where XX is the Reader’s ID. The
password is the number set in “Menu/Settings/Device” on the Reader.
2. Ensure that the Bluetooth software has assigned a COM port to the device
and note the number. If the Reader is successfully connected to a Bluetooth
device, the Bluetooth icon on the main screen will go blue.
3. Run theterminal application on your PC..
4. Select the appropriate COM port from the listed ports under the "Bluetooth"
heading.

Data can also be streamed to the PC. Commands can be sent to and from
the Reader (the available commands are listed later in this section).
5.2.3 Connecting a USB Memory Stick
The Reader can be connected to a USB memory stick using the supplied adapter
cable. If a USB memory stick has been detected by the reader the USB icon on the
main screen will go blue. The “Copy to USB” action will become available in the file
actions popup. Live data can also be streamed to the USB stick. When files are
copied to the USB stick, they will be placed into a folder called "HPR."
