Fixed / Tethered Scanning Devices
Fixed / tethered scanners are also known as keyboard wedge scanners. The “wedge” decodes scanned bar codes and directly transfers this data to the desktop as if it has been manually typed. A separate power supply is not required as the “wedge” draws required power directly from the keyboard via the keyboard cable.
