Keyboard Wedge Mode - PSC Universal Keyboard Wedge Programming Manual

Keyboard Wedge Mode

In this mode, the scanner is connected between the
keyboard and the computer/host terminal (thus the
term "wedge"). Scanned bar code data is processed
by the scanner and emulated by the system as if it
had been typed on the keyboard.
Communication 'Y' Cable
A special 'Y' cable is used to connect the scanner
between the keyboard and the computer/host
terminal. If you need a cable, contact your dealer for
information about cables and their availability.
'Y' Cable Installation
1. Turn off power to your computer or host
terminal.
2. Unplug the keyboard cable from the
computer/host terminal, and plug it into
the female connector of the 'Y' cable. (See
Figure 1.)
