Keyboard Wedge Barcode Scanner
-
I've just been briefed to convert a manual entry counter sales 'application' to use a Posiflex CD2860 barcode scanner, in keyboard wedge mode. Documentation is non-existant except for a PDF listing various setup barcodes. The only means of sending data to the device seems to be by scanning one of these special barcodes. I would like to somehow only enable the scanner on certain fields etc. and suspect the way to do this is to implement a 'proxy' layer that checks all keyboard input, then hopefully configure the scanner to prefix all codes it sends, and ignore these inputs. It's here that I would like some suggestions, not actually programming the scanner.
