Re: [Scottish] Suggestions/help with barcode scanner
oops. it's a different type of scanner. I've had a look on the web and I *now* know what type it is. It should be possible to get a keyboard wedge cable for it. but you'll need the book of barcodes that normally come with it I think to set it up for that mode. Not sure about the power requirments, I'm certain it can get enough power from the keyboard port in wedge mode, but I can't remember how it gets power in serial mode... I've been out of the barcode business for about 3 years. bit rusty! :-) Cheers K - Original Message - From: Kenny Kerr [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: SLUG-list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 10:28 AM Subject: Re: [Scottish] Suggestions/help with barcode scanner delurk... Hi I think I know the type of thing you mean. You'll probably need to get a pinout diagram, and make a custom cable. to connect it to the PC. As the connector also takes the power to the scanner, it's not as simple as pluggin it in. I can't remember the pinout myself, but I have a feeling that the scanner is the same as the DATALOGIC. is it about the size of a fag packet with a cut corner where the cable comes out?

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 :( Ben Thorp ___ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish ___ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish ___ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
