The problem, I envision, is when you integrate a keyboard with the scanner.

How can you differentiate between keyboard input and the input from the scanner? Is there a way to tell whether the input is from a scanner or the keyboard?

How can I send data from a barcode scanner to a revolution stack on WIN-PC?

Any of you experienced a software using a barcode scanner as data-entry in a revolution stack?

Ciao Paolo Mazza

I do think that barcode scanners send their data as simple ascii numbers, like if the user had typed with the numeric keypad. Like you don't really access the scanner hardware, you just put a field, when the user uses the scanner, the scannner will send the numbers and the field will be filed. But please test this before beliving in my words, I don't really know if this is how they work, but I remember researching a little while ago, and seeing something like that. If indeed they work like this, then there's not a single problem when creating stacks...

PS: I just saw a USB barcode scanner like those "credit card" scanners...
