Connect with Keyboard Wedge
A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,”
where the scanner provides data output that is similar to keyboard entries.
Note: Power must be turned off before connecting the keyboard cable.
The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power and disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the termi-
nal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device and to the terminal/
computer.
Note: The power supply must be ordered separately, if needed.
3. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner beeps.
4. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a barcode from the Sample Symbols,
beginning on page 307.
The unit defaults to an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge interface with
a USA keyboard. A carriage return (CR) suffix is added to barcode data.
