Device 3 - Default is Disabled
The data collection device (laser scanner, laser imager, external, or wireless).
Default: Disabled.
When Output Enable is enabled, data is received from the scanner and processed via the
wedge but an application can also open the WDG0: device and write data to it. An example is
when a printer is connected to the same COM port as the scanner via a switch. Data can be
written to the WDG device and is redirected to the associated COM port. The application must
open the WDG0: port, not the COMx: port as the Wedge has exclusive rights to the COM port.
If Output Enable is not checked, the WDG0: port can still be opened, but any attempts to write
to that port fail.
Default: Enabled.
When Send Key Messages (WEDGE) is checked any data collection scan is converted to key-
strokes and sent to the active window. When this checkbox is not checked, the application will
need to use the set of Scanner APIs to retrieve the data from the scanner driver. Note that this
latter method is significantly faster than using Wedge.
