Keyboard Wedge Interface
6-3
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up a Keyboard Wedge interface with the digital scanner. With this interface, the digital scanner is
connected between the keyboard and host computer, and translates bar code data into keystrokes. The host computer accepts the
keystrokes as if they originated from the keyboard. This mode adds bar code reading functionality to a system designed for manual
keyboard input. Keyboard keystrokes are simply passed through.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (
*
).
Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure
to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not
merging.
