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 keystrokes 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.
