Well, it isn't a war story -- it just works. :-) I can't really give details, though, since I wasn't the one who bought it -- we use it to scan in UPC codes. It's all handled within the scanner itself -- we didn't have to write any special code.
However, OLE for POS does support scanners, along with cash drawers, receipt printers, change machines, and several other neat things. The Application Programmer's Guide is on
