CHAPTER 9 KEYBOARD WEDGE

Introduction

This chapter provides instructions for programming the cradle for keyboard wedge host interface, used to
connect the cradle between the keyboard and host computer. The digital scanner translates the bar code data
into keystrokes, and transmits the information to the host computer via the cradle interface. 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 (
