USBCOM Driver v6.3.2 (Jan 2018)

Release Notes

DATALOGIC USB CDC/ACM COM PORT DRIVER PACKAGE FOR WINDOWS (KERNEL-MODE USB SERIAL DRIVER)

Driver Overview & Supported Operating Systems

This driver is intended for use on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems.
It supports Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 (RS1–RS3) and automatically detects the operating system version to install the appropriate driver package.
The driver:

  • Automatically recognizes and associates Datalogic USB-COM enabled devices
  • Exposes USB communication as a standard virtual COM port
  • Allows existing serial-based applications to communicate via redirected COM ports
  • Supports USB scanner connectivity without application changes

Note: USB composite scanner interface is not supported on Windows XP.

Installation Instructions

The driver package can be installed using the MSI installer:

Using MSI Installer

  1. Run USBCOMInstaller.msi
  2. If prompted, grant administrator privileges
  3. Follow the on-screen installation wizard
    Administrator privileges may be required depending on system configuration.

Fixed COM Port Assignment

This driver includes a COM Port Assignment Co-Installer for Windows 10.
It allows fixed COM port assignment based on device Hardware ID (VID/PID) using an external configuration file.
If no configuration file is present, Windows assigns COM ports automatically.
The co-installer runs only during device installation and assigned COM ports remain persistent across reboots and reconnections.

Configuration File

The configuration is defined in an external INI file:
ComPortCoInst.ini
This file is not part of the signed driver package and can be modified without affecting driver signature.

Configuration File Location

C:\Windows\System32\ComPortCoInst.ini
If the file is not found, Windows default COM port assignment is used.

Configuration Format

Standard Microsoft INI format with one or more mapping sections.

Example

[Mapping.0018]
HWID=USB\VID_152A&PID_0018
Ports=COM8
Mode=1

[Mapping.0027]
HWID=USB\VID_152A&PID_0027
Ports=COM10,COM11
Mode=1

## Installation Notes
Create the `ComPortCoInst.ini` file
Copy it to C:\Windows\System32 before driver installation
Install the USB-COM driver
Changes made after installation do not affect existing devices (reinstall required to apply updates)


## Logging
A diagnostic log file is generated during installation:
C:\Windows\Temp\comport_devcoinst.log
This log can be used to verify configuration parsing and COM port assignment behavior.

## Known Issues
On upgrade scenarios from previous driver versions, some devices may not be recognized correctly and may require removal of the previous installation before reinstalling the driver
