Chapter 6 Keyboard Wedge Interface

Introduction

This chapter provides instructions for programming the digital scanner for the keyboard wedge host interface, used
to connect the digital scanner 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, asterisks (
