A customer of ours had some challenges with hand barcode scanners and the NumLock key. Theirs tended to turn the NumLock key off, which annoyed the operators who were also doing keypad numeric entry.
I bet they were NOT using Sun Type 7 keyboards. This was discussed at length previously, you might be able to search through the archives and find the conversation. What I have found is that the Symbol Scanner works well with the Sun Type 7 keyboard. Any other brand will turn the num-lock off on every scan (tried Apple, Dell, Microsoft, IBM) I seem to recall there was some theory that we could program the scanner to send a different country code to prevent this, but since I use all Sun Type 7 keyboards I never investigated any further.
