Prox’N’Roll RFID Scanner
outputs its
data as if there were typed on the computer’s keyboard, just as a bar code
scanner behaves.
This allows a drop-in replacement of legacy bar code scanners (PS/2 or USB
devices) by a state-of-the-art RFID solution.
a. Typical applications
This reader is primarily dedicated to replace a bar code scanner where RFID
labels may be used instead of barcodes : library or book stores, item
management, ….
b. Output configuration
Thanks to the software’s configuration (stored in non-volatile memory), the
same reader is highly customizable on-the-field :
Keyboard layout (QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZ),
Keyboard sequences (prefix and postfix) to automate the navigation between
the fields in any existing application.

The device complies with the USB “Human Interface Device” (HID) profile, keyboard subclass. With
most operation systems, no specific driver is needed as the device is seen as a standard computer
keyboard.
