Installing VCP Drivers - Windows for ARM

TSL readers' USB connection uses a Virtual COM port, which requires an extra driver installation on Windows for ARM.

First, plug the reader into your PC using the supplied USB cable.

Download the ZIP file containing the drivers and extract the files to any location.

To locate the device manager on Windows 10/11, right click on the Microsoft logo at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen and select Device Manager.

In the Device Manager window there should be a device under Other Devices with a yellow warning symbol to indicate a problem i.e. no driver installed, as shown below.

Right click on the device, then select “Update Driver Software…”

This then displays the option for an automatic search or a manual search. Select the second option to browse manually.

Click Browse... and select the top-level folder of the extracted files (this folder should contain two *.INF files).

Select “Next” to start the installation.

When the installation has finished a completion screen is displayed. Press Close to close this window and go back to the Device Manager window.
