Keyboard Wedge Interface 5-3

Introduction

This chapter provides information for setting up the scanner with a Keyboard Wedge interface. Use this interface type to attach the

scanner between the keyboard and host computer. The scanner translates bar code data into keystrokes which the host computer

accepts as if they originate from the keyboard.

This mode of operation allows adding bar code reading functionality to a system designed for manual keyboard input. In this mode

the keyboard keystrokes are simply passed through.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.

*North American Feature/Option
