Customer Review: Wait for USB.
Summary: 3 Stars
If you have a laptop, you can probably transfer data to it via its onboard Ir (infrared) port. If you have a PC, and most do not have Ir ports, this Ir adapter will work, *IF* you have a serial port to spare. Most of us do not have an unused serial port, so such devices require swapping and rebooting. New to the market are USB IrDA adapters. These work well out of the box and require no swapping or rebooting. The price is a bit higher for now, but I think it's worth it for the increased ease of use.

With the adapter, you can transmit the data stored in your C Pen to your PC, even if it doesn't have an infrared port.As C Pen scanner fans know, scanned text is displayed in the C Pen's LCD window, where you can edit, move, or delete the text as needed. When you are finished, the newly digitized text can be uploaded to your handheld, notebook, or a PC via an infrared port. Of course, most desktop PCs do not have IR ports, and that's where the C Pen infrared serial adapter can help.
