These values can be set at the StayLinked Server using the Client Settings features. It is important that scanner-as-wedge is not accidentally enabled for devices with native scanner communication as it will prevent them from properly submitting barcode transactions to the StayLinked server. More information is listed above in the section for Input Types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Configuring the Scanner and Device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The device or wedge program will need to be\nconfigured to include a prefix and suffix that matches the StayLinked\nScanner-As-Wedge Delimiter. The default delimiter is the caret symbol \u2018^<\/strong>\u2019, typically displayed on a PC\nkeyboard is a shifted 6. Your device may also have a configuration option for\nthe symbology ID, which is a prefix that identifies the type of barcode being\nscanned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The configuration choices in the scanner and\nStayLinked client will need to match for your barcodes to be correctly\nprocessed in the StayLinked client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please refer to the manufacturer or third-party documentation for the best method of configuring your scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once configuration of the scanner is\ncomplete, the device should be able to scan into notepad or WordPad in one of\nthe two following formats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The caret symbols represent the delimiter,\nand can be configured for an alternative character when desired. Some devices\nuse the caret symbol to represent an escape, which is incompatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The X\nrepresents the symbology ID, if you have enabled it in the scanner and set the\ntransmit code id in StayLinked to disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The barcode data should represent only the\ndata contained in the barcode you are scanning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the configuration is complete, the\nStayLinked client scan test should display the barcode data only and the\nkeyboard test should not respond to barcode scans. If the data appears to\nquickly scroll by the keyboard test, and does not appear in the scan test,\ncheck the WordPad scan results as mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since StayLinked simply watches the keyboard interface for the barcode string, any missing data or inconsistencies will need to be configured in the scanner configuration. Please refer to the manufacturer of your device for details on configuring their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The most reliable method of encapsulating scan data on tethered scanning devices using HID or RS232 interfaces is called scanner-as-wedge.
