Models
The PowerWedge 10 is available in two models.
PowerWedge 10 Wedge
The PowerWedge 10 wedge model (FD-000-11) is a true keyboard wedge.
It sends scanned bar code data to your computer as if it were typed on the
keyboard.
A custom cable lets you install the PowerWedge 10 between a keyboard
and computer or terminal in seconds. No additional hardware, software,
or power supply is necessary. Power for the decoder is drawn from the
host.
PowerWedge 10 Serial
The PowerWedge 10 Serial model (FD-000-10) uses a serial interface
cable to communicate with a computer or terminal. You can install it in a
“stand-alone” configuration (connected directly to a computer) or an
“eavesdrop” configuration (between a terminal and the host computer).
Power is supplied by a 9-volt DC adapter.
NOTE
For installation information, see
PowerWedge 10 Installation on page 5
NOTE
With a stand-alone serial configuration on a DOS-based computer, you can
use a software utility named BARCOM to enable the computer to accept serial
input as if it were typed on the keyboard. Contact your dealer for information
about BARCOM.
