Keyboard Wedge Interface
This chapter describes how to set up a Keyboard Wedge interface with the scanner. With
this interface, the 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.
