Is this of any help?

It says you need a decoder to use it. I installed Symbol scanners on a retail contract in 1998 and they plugged into an ISA decoder card inside the till.
Maybe you can pick up the decoder on eBay?

OK - I got burned by an eBay purchase - it had to happen sometime.
I picked up a Symbol LS2000 barcode scanner, which comes (for some unknown
reason) with a 25 pin male serial plug on the end of the lead (although it
only has 9 pins in it). I thought I would be OK just getting an adaptor to
change it to a 9-pin female, and then plugging into a standard serial port,
but that does not seem to be working.
I am looking, therefore, for the following:
1. Somebody with some experience who can either get it working, or would
like a new toy
2. A PS/2 barcode scanner (preferred, but serial might do) that works under
Linux, that somebody would like to either sell, or lend to me for 6 months
while I finish the project involved.
Otherwise I'm heading back to eBay to try again :(
