1. Download the Cashiering Hardware Drivers installation package from Tyler Community at https://tylercommunity.tylertech.com/cashiering/m/downloads/35856
2. Navigate to the download location and unzip/extract all files from TylerCashiering.DeviceDriversInstaller.2020.2.0.1.zip
3. Navigate to TylerCashiering.DeviceDriversInstaller.2020.2.0.1\ManualHardwareDriversV3\Xenon1900\HSM USB Serial Driver ver 3.1.4

   3. Install driver for Everyone
   4. Click Next through the remaining screens until installation is complete
5. Once the install is done, connect the scanner to the PC and wait for Windows to detect and install the 19xx scanner
   1. After connecting the scanner but before scanning the QR code, in Device Manager the scanner will show under POS Barcode Scanner as POS HID Barcode scanner. This is normal at this point, but the QR code below must be used to switch it to COM port use to work correctly with the Cashiering Hardware Console.
6. It's a good idea to reset the scanner back to its defaults before adding further programming for use with Tyler apps. To reset to defaults, first scan the top Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Activate Defaults bar code.
   
7. Scan the barcode below to configure the scanner for Cashiering and to put it in COM port emulation mode
8. Open Windows Device Manager
