Force COM Port for USB Serial Device
The Honeywell Scanning & Mobility (HSM) USB Serial Driver is a CDC ACM driver that exposes HSM
USB scanners as a virtual COM port to the operating system and applications.
If you chose a specific port number for USB Serial (Virtual COM) during ReM client installation (see
page 2-5), you must ensure the driver always assigns the same port by using the Force COM option in
the HSM USB Serial Driver:

2. Open the host Device Manager (Start>Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager).
