Example scanner not showing in posdm

Question

I have installed HSM POS4NET Suite.

I contacted Honeywell and they sent me a barcode to put the scanner in USB HID Mode.

Here is my xml called 3800r.xml and copied it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\Point Of Service\Control Configurations

<PointOfServiceConfig Version="1.0">
    <ServiceObject Type="Scanner" Name="Example Scanner">
        <HardwareId From="HID\VID_0536&amp;PID_0167" To="HID\VID_0536&amp;PID_0167" />
        <HardwareId From="HID\VID_0536&amp;PID_0167&amp;REV_00?3" To="HID\VID_0536&amp;PID_0167&amp;REV_00?3" />
    </ServiceObject>
</PointOfServiceConfig>

Run I run posdm listdevices, my example scanner does not show up.
These other two items do, but I did not create them

Is my xml correct?

That is the correct directory, right?

Answer 1

I have never seen a ? in a pid before. Try removing this line:

<HardwareId From="HID\VID_0536&amp;PID_0167&amp;REV_00?3" To="HID\VID_0536&amp;PID_0167&amp;REV_00?3" />

The POS4NET tools might have installed a different service object. If so, I would go with this service object as it might be more up todate.
