If you select USB IBM OEM/SurePOS, a default Product ID of 0x0009 displays. You can change
this value if you use different Product IDs. (Product ID is a unique number given to a USB device that
identifies the device from a set of devices connected to different USB ports.)
6. If you are not using a UPOS (JavaPOS/OPOS) driver, click Deploy Filter Driver.
Note: ReM requires that Metrologic scanners send all data (i.e., bar codes, broadcasts, and
heartbeats). However, if this data is not filtered, Line of Business (LOB) applications that use only
bar code data will receive extra characters. The ReM Filter Driver removes the extra data before
sending it to the LOB application. In addition, the ReM Filter Driver allows ReM to manage the
scanner without interfering with the COM port used by the application.
7. Verify your interface selection. If you selected an RS232 interface, the installer window expands as
shown below:
For RS232 interfaces using the ReM Filter Driver, Physical Port refers to the actual COM port on
the host machine. Virtual Port is the virtual COM port that you want the Filter Driver to expose to
the application. If, however, the virtual COM port is not available, the Filter Driver will automatically
assign a port.
USB Serial (Virtual COM) is the USB serial virtual COM port that you want the Filter Driver to
expose to the application. If, however, the virtual COM port is not available, the Filter Driver will
automatically assign a port.
USB IBM OEM/SurePOS remains the same as explained in Step 5.
