The Keyboard Wedge interface scanner is designed to operate with an IBM personal computers and compatibles along with a Macintosh PC's. Select the host computer type from the menu below. NOTE: If the scanner has not been set to the correct host computer, the scanner may display random characters on the screen after reading a bar code label.
NOTE: Do not enable ‘without keyboard’ option when a keyboard is connected to the Y cable. The ‘without keyboard’ option is only supported for PC/AT wedges. Program Menu With keyboard Without keyboard Program Menu Start Series LGP Handheld CCD Scanner Page 7...
The scanner may send data faster than the computer or application program can accept. This is called "keyboard buffer overrun". If data appears to be missing, random read errors occur or the scanner locks up and will not scan, experiment with the various keyboard timing options listed in the menu to follow.
There is a power supply jack on the RS-232 connector. Installation is as follows: 1. Plug the scanner into an RS232 serial port (such as COM1) of the host PC. If external power is required, insert external power plug into the jack on the RS-232 connector.

C.) Installation – USB Interface Plug the scanner into the USB connector on your host computer. PC must be running Windows 98 or higher or iMac Rev A or higher. The computer will sense the presence of the scanner and load any required software drivers automatically.
Programming is easy. Simply: 1. Scan the bar code for "Start/End Program Menu" (ZZ). The scanner will beep continuously to indicate that it is ready to be programmed. When the scanner is in Programming Mode, it cannot read normal bar code. It can only read the special bar codes found on the following pages.
