CHAPTER 6 KEYBOARD WEDGE

Introduction

This chapter provides instructions for programming the linear imager for keyboard wedge host interface, used
to connect the scanner between the keyboard and host computer. The linear imager translates the bar code
data into keystrokes, and transmits the information to the host computer. The host computer accepts the
keystrokes as if they originated from the keyboard.
This interface adds bar code reading functionality to a system designed for manual keyboard input. In this
mode the keyboard keystrokes are simply passed through.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (
