Wedge Interface
The Opticon smart wand has built-in intelligence to
connect directly to a personal computer without
the need for a separate decoder box. Scanned bar
codes appear to the computer as if the data was
typed into the keyboard. Normal operation of the
keyboard is unaffected. The wedge interface is
compatible with virtually any application program
accepting keyboard input.
Advantages
Low cost no separate decoder box required
No special software installation or technical
support required
Same communication signal format as key-
board
Simple installation
No external power supply
Full featured bar code menu offers user
flexibility
Uses existing keyboard type
