>The bar code scanner (wedge type)emulates the keyboard, so a program does not have to know a scanner is attached. When you scan a bar code your program will behave exactly as if you typed the code in by hand.

>Bar code scanners usually come with an inline decoder that can be programmed, using the manual that comes with the scanner. It's just a listing of bar codes that allow you to set bar code type, upper/lower case, CR/LF, etc.

>You should verify the particular scanner specifications satisfy your needs, before you buy.

>I, primarily use Code 3 of 9. Most scanners support this code.
