Hello Leigh, Alas, I tried plugging this scanner directly into our Windows terminal server (so its drivers would be installed if needed), and it doesn't seem to work like a USB HID device nor a keyboard. It appeared in Device manager (after a requested restart of the server), but there is no HID-Devices branch. Also it doesn't generate any text in, i.e., Notepad when i scan a barcode. Seems there should be some more software to install, I'll look into it later in the week...
