Setting Up Serial Scanning
To use a serial scanner with the Rhino II, a wedge utility must be
executed to convey the serial input to the keyboard input. By doing
this, the scanner data will be presented to the application as if it had
been typed on the keyboard. On the Rhino II WEC7 units the wedge
utility is \Windows\DLWedgeCE.exe, which should be copied to
\Windows\StartUp directory in order to automatically launch when
the terminal is rebooted.
On all other Rhino IIs the utility is c:\Program Files (x86)\Device
Tools\Keywedge.exe. To automatically launch keywedge you will
want to follow the instructions for automatically launching
applications for the loaded operating system. Search for “add
program to startup windows” on the internet then select the
instructions for Windows 7 or 10 as appropriate.
Wedge parameters may be changed by the user if desired using a
registry edit utility such as regedit. The parameters are stored as
strings in the registry, under the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DATALOGIC\MWWEDGE. To
add any desired parameters, use the registry editor on the PC to add
or edit the string value. The default value for each setting is listed in
bold below. The following parameters are available:
CommPort REG_SZ Sets the serial port to be monitored
for input. Legal values are COM1 : or COM2:.
CommBaud REG_SZ Sets the baud rate to be used on the
serial port. Legal values are 1200, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or
115200 .
Suffix REG_SZ Decimal value of the character to be
added to the end of the scanned data. For example, to add a
carriage return to the end of the scan set the suffix to 13. By
default no suffix is set.
