DataWedge
DataWedge is a utility that adds advanced barcode scanning capability to any application without writing code.
It runs in the background and handles the interface to built-in barcode scanners. The captured barcode data is
converted to keystrokes and sent to the target application as if it was typed on the keypad.
To configure DataWedge see DataWedge on page 129.
