MS100-3
The MS100-3 AT keyboard wedge interface has a “Y” interface cable with
an AT male plug on one end and an AT female plug on the other. The
cable end with the male plug is inserted into your computer’s keyboard
port and your keyboard is plugged into the female plug.
The MS100-3 operation should be “plug and play”. The MS100-3 has a
built-in decoder that outputs the scanned data in Scancode keyboard
format. Your computer will treat your MS100-3’s input as it would normal
keyboard input.
Note:
If you are using a laptop computer or a USB keyboard (ie. you are
not using an AT keyboard), then your MS100-3 will need to be configured
as a “Keyboardless Wedge” (see “Device” in the “Scanner Configuration
Manager” section.
MS100-3PS2
The PS/2 Keyboard Wedge interface is the most popular and straightfor-
ward. The MS100-3PS2 has a “Y” interface cable with a PS/2 male plug
on one end and a PS/2 female plug on the other. The cable end with the
male plug is inserted into your computer’s keyboard port (not the mouse
port!) and your keyboard is plugged into the female plug.
The MS100-3PS2 operation should be “plug and play”. The MS100-3PS2
has a built-in decoder that outputs the scanned data in Scancode key-
board format. Your computer will treat your MS100-3PS2’s input as it
would normal keyboard input.
Note:
If you are using a laptop computer or a USB keyboard (ie. you are
not using a PS/2 keyboard), then your MS100-3PS2 will need to be
configured as a “Keyboardless Wedge” (see “Device” in the “Scanner
Configuration Manager” section.
MS100-4
The USB interface is becoming popular and relatively foolproof. Your
MS100-4 uses the standard USB driver that has been included in the
Windows Operating System since Windows 98 SE.
The MS100-4 operation should be “plug and play”. The MS100-4 has a
built-in decoder that outputs the scanned data in HID keyboard format.
Your computer will treat your MS100-4’s input as it would normal keyboard
input.
Note:
Mac OS10 users might need to update their USB driver.
