CHAPTER 6 KEYBOARD WEDGE
INTERFACE
Introduction
This chapter provides instructions for programming the scanner for keyboard wedge host interface, used to
connect the scanner between the keyboard and host computer. The scanner 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 (
