Overview
One of the major features of our various barcode scanning applications is that they are designed to allow the host PC to be used by other people, and other applications, even while the barcode scanner is in use. We accomplish this by setting the scanners up as emulated serial or COM ports. However, out-of-the-box, most barcode scanners function as a virtual keyboard and when a barcode is scanned behave as if you were typing the barcode text into the PC. This would of course require the PC to be focused on a dedicated text field of some sort, and is therefore not something that could run in the background.
For this reason you'll need to configure the device to work properly with the comms client, which is done with the use of setup codes included in the bundled hardware manual. The primary setup code you need will be labelled as one of:
- USB-COM
- USB-COM-STD
- CDC Mode
- Serial Emulation
Scan the appropriate code as directed by the user manual to reconfigure the scanner. If the scanner does not work properly, consider scanning the appropriate "Reset" or "Restore Factory Defaults" codes and trying again.
