Wedge

The Thor VX8 computer contains a software keyboard wedge that allows scanner input to be treated as keyboard input by applications.

WLinq can create multiple profiles which can be important if more than one scanner or type of scanner may be used with the Thor VX8.

Important: If you experience trouble with processed bar code data, set the Inter-character Delay on the Keyboard tab to a value greater than 0 milliseconds.

There are many other options available in WLinq. To learn more, select Start > All Programs > FreeFloat WLinq > Help for Wlinq or review the complete FreeFloat WLinq documentation available at FreeFloat.com.

Configuration

To configure the wedge, select Start > All Programs > FreeFloat WLinq > WLinq.

Click on the Settings button to configure WLinq. Make sure the Communication tab is selected.

Adjust the settings on the communication tab to match the settings for the COM port to which the scanner is attached.

Next click the Data Editing tab.
