Chapter 11 Keyboard Wedge Interface
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up a Keyboard Wedge interface with the device/cradle. With this interface, the
cradle is connected between the keyboard and host computer, and translates scanned ba r code data into
keystrokes. The host computer accepts the keystrokes as if they origin ated from the keyboard. This mode adds bar
code reading functionality to a system designed for manual keyboa rd input. Keyboard keystrokes are simply
passed through.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default val ues.

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and
bars and/or spaces do not merge.
