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:

Install the Barcode Scanner

Follow these steps to install the barcode scanner:

  1. 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.)
  2. Turn off the computer.
  3. Attach the scanner to the computer using the Y splitter cable. It is called a Y splitter because it has three ends:
    1. One end attaches to the computer.
    2. One end attaches to the scanner.
    3. One end attaches to the keyboard.
  4. Turn the computer on. The scanner should now be ready to use.
