These scanners are plug an play right out of the box!
The small top button changes the scan pattern from omnidirectional to single line which is useful for scanning a specific code if there are several in close proximity. The large button performs scans, but the scanner can be programmed with one programming barcode to scan automatically without needing to press the button. I am happy to help you configure these, just message me at any point after purchase and I can provide a custom programming code sheet to fit your needs.
I've personally tested these with Windows 2000, ME, XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Win 10, MacOS X, and any recent version of Linux or Unix (all of which don't require drivers). Data will be input wherever the cursor is on the screen or wherever data normally would show up when you would type on a USB keyboard.
These scanners allow for several power saving modes including infrared activation. This allows the laser to automatically turn back on when it detects movement after a defined period of inactivity, greatly prolonging laser diode life.
If you are looking for a different interface, cable type, or cable length, be sure to contact me prior to purchase!
