Here's the "official" word I got back from a representative: > IntelliScanner mini is not designed for use with our > business software (such as Inventory and the Business Integration Kit) > or third-party applications. > > You'll probably be able to use your mini with keyboard emulation for > your Revolution app, but third-party integration is unsupported with our > consumer product line. I'm still trying to get details on how to possibly connect the scanner output to Rev but they clearly do not support any app development with the consumer model -- you need to go with one of their business products for that. As it stands, the connection from the scanner to the computer is a little klunky. You use two cables and a Keyspan adapter in between. Apparently, once you connect the scanner to the computer and the data has transferred, the scanner is automatically wiped clean for the next scans. I'm using the kitchen software, which connects to an (online?) database in an attempt to match your scanned codes to products in the database. It's pretty cool, but several of the products I scanned have incomplete info or do not appear in the database at all. Because of the form factor (much like a keyring flashlight) it is quite easy to scan items around the house and one can see how scanning could become addictive. Their motto: "Scan responsibly". More as it comes in...
