Once installed, this driver will allow your PC to detect the PDF417 reader and magnetic stripe reader on your M280. > To enable image capture on the M280, there is a separate driver that needs to be installed. ### Step 2 - Installing The Image Driver Download the [Image Reader Driver](https://idscan.net/downloads/M280v2_Driver.zip) from our website. Right-click the **M280v2\_Driver.zip** file and select "Extract All." ![](https://support.idscan.net/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction43172183991originalHUjPQNTdYDlFMYn-eXEg2N3bY4-l0tBc5A.png)   Once extracted, open the **Device Manager** and locate the section called "Other Devices." Right-click on the device called **M280V1** or **M280V2 **and select the option "Update Driver." ![Screenshot 2022-12-22 at 14.19.18](https://support.idscan.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-12-22%20at%2014.19.18.png?width=688&height=425&name=Screenshot%202022-12-22%20at%2014.19.18.png) A window will appear asking you how you would like to update the driver. Select the option that says "Browse my computer for drivers" ![](https://support.idscan.net/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction43172241378originalU_XYRrtS2zMAqFvvLKCwTHhzAls0XKDfrw.png)   When the **Browse for drivers on your computer **window appears, select the **Browse **button. In the File Browser window, select the location to which you extracted the **M280v2\_Driver.zip **file. Likely, the location will be in your **Downloads** folder. Select the subfolder that matches the Windows Version and CPU architecture of your system. > For example, the following image shows the correct location for Windows 10 64-bit. ![](https://support.idscan.net/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction43172241441original61qZc4DanX3PbvdoW9J5m2eOz1IaHDVIcw.png) Once you have selected the appropriate folder, select Next and allow the drivers to install. Once you receive the message "Windows has successfully updated your drivers" your M280 is ready to capture images. ![](https://support.idscan.net/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction43172241461originalh3Vm4KSab5L9ikA-ownqDrLxx7SVdKKp4g.png) ### Step 3 - Configuring Scanning Software Follow [this setup guide](https://support.idscan.net/desktop-hardware/com-port-scanner-setup?hsLang=en) for COM port scanners to identify your scanner's COM port and allow your scanner to communicate with VeriScan or WizzForms.
