1INTRODUCTION

Product Description

The qID (Model R1240IE, R1240IU), mobile reader of the easy2read©Family, is an UHF multiregional RFID reader with

integrated antenna for short to medium range applications. It is compliant with ISO 18000-6C/EPC C1G2 standards.

The reader hosts an internal rechargeable battery and can operate both in wired mode, using a USB cable, or in

wireless mode through the Bluetooth® interface.

Thanks to the Bluetooth® communication interface, the qID is a perfect add-on for any Bluetooth® enabled host such

as a PC, a smartphone, a PDA or a tablet for UHF RFID readings. The reader is compatible with Windows XP/7/8/10,

Windows CE/Mobile, Android, iPhone and iPad.

The reader can also operate in “Batch Mode”, allowing to store up to 500.000 EPC codes into the internal memory

when the communication links (USB or Bluetooth®) are not available.

An optional 1D/2D barcode imager enables the qID to read most of the barcode standards. This enables the qID to be

the perfect identification device in mixed barcode/RFID labels environment.

When paired to a smartphone or a tablet, the qID is a cost effective alternative to more expensive handheld devices.

Designed for mobile operators in indoor or outdoor areas, the qID is ideal for inventory management, field sales

mobility, service and maintenance applications.

USB connector

A micro USB Type B socket connector is located in the bottom side of qID R1240IE/IU and can be used to connect the

reader to an USB host port or to an AC/DC battery charger.

In case the reader is connected to a standard USB port the battery charge is performed at 500mA max. (slow charge

mode), in case it is connected to the AC/DC adapter charge current is 1A max. (fast charge mode).

Please consider that when the reader is attached to a PC via USB cable, the battery recharge is active only with device

in stand-by mode (power LED blinking orange).

2GETTING STARTED

Introduction

This quickstart guide will help you to get started with your qID reader.

For more detailed information on reader configuration, connections and setup options please refer to the next

chapters.

Installing the USB Virtual COM port driver

The qID reader can be connected to a PC using the provided USB cable and it is detected by the PC as a composite USB,

that is as an emulated serial port (VCP) and as an USB MSC.

Power ON the reader and plug the USB cable into the qID USB port.

After a while, from one side, a new storage device should appear under the computer directory and, from the other

side, a dialog window appears informing you that the device is not recognized and you should be prompted for

inserting the reader's USB VCP driver (download the driver at qID R1240IE/IU web page, SW/FW section) in order to

correctly operate with the reader.

After installing the driver, the reader is detected by the PC as an emulated serial port (VCP) and as an USB MSC:
