How can I use a barcode scanner to input text directly?
How can I use a barcode scanner to input text directly?
I’m using a welch alynn it3800 with a USB input adapter. I want to be able to scan barcodes and have them go in directly as Text (as if it was typed)
Right now when I scan a barcode, it beeps regularly but nothing shows up. Do I need a driver?
Best answer:
You can scan the data directly into Microsoft Excel, for one. Create a sheet and scan the code. The data that code holds will be input into the cell you have selected. I used to do inventory this way.

If the scanner driver emulates a keyboard, that’s how the scanned text will appear – as keyboard input. If it’s not, scanned text will appear as whatever the driver is written to make it appear as.
