SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
140 MATRIX 120™
USB-HID (KEYBOARD WEDGE) CONFIGURATIONS
The Matrix 120™ USB interface can be used as a USB-HID device (virtual keyboard) oth-
erwise known as a keyboard wedge. In this configuration, code reading input form the
Matrix 120™ is sent directly to the application running on the PC as if it was typed from
the PC keyboard. This is typically used in data entry programs.
To assure the input is correctly interpreted, the Matrix 120™ reader must be aligned
with your keyboard type. This is done through the Device>Settings>Settings>Mainte-
nance Settings tab. Select your keyboard from the dropdown list.
The USB-HID interface is a Matrix 120™ Output only channel and is configured through
the Data Formatting page.
You need to correctly set the Header and Terminator parameters depending on the
requirements of the application running on the PC.
