usb symbol barcode scanner

[Guest]

Hi All,
I want to use a symbol barcode scanner on my embedded device.
I made my embedded device dual boot.
on the first partition is xp. xp sees the scanner fine.
a ran tap on xp and imported the pmq file.

Whem i import the pmq file in TD i get the following error:
Could not find a driver for HID-compliant apparaat
(HID\Vid_05e0&Pid_0300&Rev_0204).

what can i do next?

Your options are to create a driver component to own that ven dev id,
or you can install the device after setup if you have the features like
add new HW then this should be simple.

The best bet is to componentize it yourself or perhaps check
www.xpefiles.com and see if someone else has already done this for you.
Read the help on how to do this, or start with this tip article:

G.,

HID is Human Interface Device -- i.e. USB to most of the world.

One way you might find more information about the device in question
is to search an XP Pro machine Windows\inf folder for *.inf files
containing the text Vid_05e0&Pid_0300 .

Of cource, TAP could be seeing a USB device on your target machine
that you won't have on your production hardware. You can rerun TAP
with adjusted hardware or you can edit the Vid_05e0&Pid_0300 device
references out of the *.pmq file with Notepad -- it looks a lot like
XML -- and re-import.

Good luck, Roy
