Metrologic USB Scanner (COM9) Driver

The Metrologic USB Scanner (COM9) driver helps Windows communicate with a Metrologic Instruments barcode scanner through a USB connection configured as a virtual serial port. It is intended for users setting up a scanner for the first time, restoring a missing COM-port connection, or troubleshooting scanning software that cannot detect the device.

Key Features

• USB-to-serial communication: Allows compatible scanning applications to access the scanner through a Windows COM port.
• Application connectivity: Supports barcode input workflows in software configured to communicate with the scanner over a serial connection.
• Windows support: Intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; select a package that matches your system version and architecture.
• Device identification: Helps Windows recognize compatible scanner hardware so you can check its connection and port assignment in Device Manager.

How to Install Metrologic USB Scanner (COM9) Driver

1. Check your system and scanner. Confirm your Windows version, whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit, and the scanner’s exact model. In Device Manager, check the device’s hardware IDs if you need to verify compatibility.
2. Choose a matching package. Before starting your Metrologic USB Scanner (COM9) driver download for Windows, review the supported hardware and operating systems. Look for the latest version compatible with your scanner, rather than assuming every newer release will work.
3. Download and extract the files. Use a trusted source for a free download, and scan the package with your security software. Extract compressed files before running the installer.
4. Install the driver. Follow the included setup instructions, connecting the scanner when prompted. If no installer is provided, open Device Manager, select the scanner, choose Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Verify the connection. Restart Windows if requested, then check the scanner under Ports (COM & LPT). Select the assigned port in your scanning application and test a barcode. COM9 is a port assignment, not a fixed model identifier, so Windows may assign a different number.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible update addresses connection problems or application requirements. For Windows 10/11 setups, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported here, but Windows 11 compatibility must be confirmed separately with the driver provider. If scanning already works reliably, review release notes before replacing the installed driver.
