CHAPTER 12 KEYBOARD WEDGE
INTERFACE
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up a keyboard wedge interface with the digital scanner. With this interface, the
digital scanner is connected between the keyboard and host computer, and translates barcode data into
keystrokes. The host computer accepts the keystrokes as if they originated from the keyboard. This mode adds
barcode reading functionality to a system designed for manual keyboard input. Keyboard keystrokes are simply
passed through.
Throughout the programming barcode menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.

Feature/Option

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the barcodes directly on the screen. When scanning from the
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the barcode clearly, and
bars and/or spaces do not merge.
