USB Keyboard Wedge Communication
The 7893 can emulate a USB keyboard device by enumerating itself as an HID keyboard. By
doing so, it passes barcodes directly to the host’s keyboard driver. This eliminates the need of
installing a third party driver since the operating system’s native keyboard input driver will be
used.
