Scan Wedge App
The XT200 also comes preloaded with the
Scan Wedge
application. When active, Scan Wedge runs
in the background and can send scanned and decoded data directly into the currently active
foreground application. For example, with Scan Wedge active, the XT200 can be used to scan barcode
data directly into a Microsoft Word or Excel template, or any other app that accepts input data.

and toggle the on/off switch to on. Under
