Chapter 5 Keyboard Wedge Interface
Introduction
This chapter covers Keyboard Wedge interface information for setting up your scanner.
This interface type is used to attach the scanner between the keyboard and host computer.
The scanner translates the bar code data into keystrokes. The host computer accepts the
keystrokes 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, default values are indicated with asterisks
(*).
