Is this a USB scanner that plugs into a computer and works like a keyboard wedge?

Yes. Once the driver is installed correctly, it acts the same as a keyboard wedge. I have found the configuration software can be a little tricky. Windows must setup the scanner completely before opening the software. Once you are in the configuration software, the scanner will not work until the software is closed. I tried to test my settings with the software running and while the scanner would beep as if it was scanning correctly, nothing was displayed. Only works after the software is exited. Makes testing a config change a little longer.

This scanner has a USB plug and works with any active USB port on a computer or laptop. I am not sure if it will act as a wedge, but it will scan in the data in the field if you place the cursor in the field. Hope that answers your question.

This scanner works with your laptop via USB port power. The nice thing with this scanner is that it is small enough to put into your laptop case or briefcase and uses the power from the laptop USB plug. That's all need to make and keep a copy. You can also save the scanned copy into your laptop memory for future use. This scanner does both sides of the paper as well without having to turn over the paper.

Don't know. I tried it with a scanner and a printer and both worked OK, but it would not recognize a USB hub.

Not really. It reads usb drive. Maybe that's what's sort of smart about it.

I don't think so. Mine only has a USB connector. I'm not sure I understand your intent though. You can use the keyboard and the scanner at the same time.

You'll need to get this one for the Mac. http://www.amazon.com/Readers-Diagnostic-Scanner-ELM327-USB-Interface/dp/B00SKSJ70I

Is it necessary to have a computer if you have one of these scanners? What is the purpose?

USB - yes, the setup instructions show you how to connect the cable. Scan to computer - yes ... I believe that there is a brother scan utility however I use Irfanview, my favorite (free) graphics app to pull scans from our machine.

Yes! I have been happy with this scanner. Has a reasonable price tag. Good luck!

Hi Alfredo,It does connect to a computer via a USB port (Mini-B plug on the scanner), but it switches to SD card reader mode so that the SD card appears as a USB flash drive. There doesn't appear to be an option to scan directly into software running on a computer. The scanner has no problems scanning checks and is especially good at scanning long receipts that don't fit on a regular flatbed scanner.

This scanner works with pc's (USB) it mimics a keyboard for entry of barcode data. For most uses it does not need to be programmed. That being said a good barcode software is helpful for printing and interpreting different formats of barcodes that do exist. I use this model for office inventory (not retail). You will find other people that have ordered this scanner that use it for retail and do not seem to have had any problems.

Mine came with a usb receiver, looks like a thumb drive. I plugged into my computer and was able to scan. Also need to charge handheld scanner with included cable. But instructions are vague.

Yes it scans, the printer will load software right from the unit when you plug in the USB cable.

All this scanner does is convert the barcode into a string of numbers, there is no software in it, it works the way a keyboard types numbers in. It will only work on a device with a USB port such as a computer.

Yes. It has a USB cable to interface with your computer and a software disc.

Presumably your printer/scanner has a USB portal.In which case I'm quite sure it's doable but I wouldn't know exactly how. But many folks could know.

The scanner is supplied with USB cable (one side USB-A type connector and other side USB-B type connector)
