Appendix A: Barcode Scanner Installation
The barcode scanner is designed to work with most IBM-compatible computers
that have PS/2 ports, and Windows operating systems.
Prerequisites
Before starting, check the following:
- On the computer, determine whether or not
the barcode font has been installed. If not, ask your system administrator
for help in obtaining and installing it.
- Locate the two components for the barcode
scanner: the Y splitter cable and the Wedge scanner.
Install the Barcode Scanner
Follow these steps to install the barcode scanner:
- Locate the fonts folder on the computer to make
sure it has been installed. It is usually located in the Windows
or WINNT
folder. (Example: C:\Windows\Fonts.)
- Turn off the computer.
- Attach the scanner to the computer using the
Y splitter cable. It is called a Y
splitter because it has three ends:
- One end attaches to the computer.
- One end attaches to the scanner.
- One end attaches to the keyboard.
- Turn the computer on. The scanner should now
be ready to use.
For more information, refer to the installation guide provided with
your barcode scanner.
