Keyboard Wedge Interface
This chapter describes how to set up a Keyboard Wedge interface with the scanner. With 
this interface, the scanner is connected between the keyboard and host computer, and 
translates bar code data into keystrokes. The host computer accepts the keystrokes as if 
they originated from the keyboard. This mode adds bar code reading functionality to a 
system designed for manual keyboard input. Keyboard keystrokes are simply passed 
through.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks 
(*).
