5.7.1 Internal and external scan data insertion
Scanner modules can also be connected over external interfaces (USB, serial). In this case, this is referred
to as external scan data insertion.
5.7.1.1 Inserting data from the internal scanner (ScanDrv)
The ScanDrv.exe file is launched when the device starts up.
To configure the scanner settings, double-tap the barcode tray icon in the task bar or alternatively tap the
same icon in the Control Panel.
For more information, consult the administration manual from version 2.00 onwards.
5.7.1.2 Inserting data of an external scanner (ExtScan2KeyCE)
External laser scanners from a variety of manufacturers can be connected to Windows CE devices.
Non-customised applications use a scan data insert function in the keyboard buffer to insert the scan data
next to the cursor position. This is done with the ExtScan2KeyCE license application that is installed if
necessary on the MDT device. More detailed information is available in another document

Note:
Some devices have an external USB interface. A RS232-to-USB conversion is performed in the vehicle
docking station. The virtual COM5 interface is generated via a USB driver which is then used in
ExtScan2KeyCE.
