Option Port Devices Driver

Install the driver¶

Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers cause the USB device to appear as an additional COM port available to the PC. Application software can access the USB device in the same way as it would access a standard COM port. This software is provided by Future Technology Devices International Limited “as is” and any express or implied warranties, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are disclaimed. If you have to manually install a driver for the device — perhaps the driver is already installed on your system — you can use the Update Driver button in the device’s Properties window. If the device driver is already installed on your system, click the “Browse my computer for driver software” link and choose an installed driver.

Configure one hardware driver for your peripheral/device side bus controller, and a 'gadget driver' for your peripheral protocol. (If you use modular gadget drivers, you may configure more than one.) If in doubt, say 'N' and don't enable these drivers; most people don't have this kind of hardware (except maybe inside Linux PDAs). In Windows, search for and open Control Panel. Click Devices and Printers, and then click Add a printer. On the Choose a device or printer to add to this PC window, select your printer, click Next, and then follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver. If your printer is not in the list, continue with these steps.
