Getting Started
The Honeywell Scanning & Mobility (HSM) USB Serial Driver is a CDC ACM driver that exposes HSM USB scanners
as as a virtual COM port to the operating system and applications.
Installing the HSM USB Serial Driver

Install_64.bat – For installing on a 64-bit Operating System.
Note: When installing on Windows Vista or Windows 7 Operating Systems, you must have Administrator privileges or
you will be prompted for an Administrator password.
3. To run the install, either double click on the appropriate Install_xx.bat file or open a Command Prompt:
Start->Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt
4. If installing via the command prompt, change to the location to which you extracted your driver files and run the
batch file appropriate for your Operating System. You will need to type the name of the .bat file to run the install.

changes to this computer”) with Windows Vista and Windows 7 Operating Systems, you must install via
running the Command Prompt as an administrator.
Select Start->Programs->Accessories, right click on the Command Prompt option, and select "Run as
