Barcode scanners

Barcode scanners with Keyboard Wedge (KBW) Interface are compatible with Kladana. Keyboard Wedge Interface emulates keystrokes while scanning. The barcode scanners of this type usually connect via USB.

Before you start scanning barcodes, please check if the scanner works correctly.

  1. Print the page with a barcode sample.
  2. Connect the scanner to the computer with a USB cable.
  3. Open any text editor such as Notepad.
  4. Place the text entry cursor in the edit field.
  5. Scan the barcode sample several times. The scanner is ready to work, if the barcode value appears in the line, and the cursor moves to the next line.

Some scanners also need to set up an additional mode to complete the barcode input with virtual pressing the Enter key.
