Laser Bar Code Scanner
I have a laser bar code reader (LS-300 Multi Interface Gun Laser Scanner)
It is connected through a spliter with the keyboard (keyboard wedge). It works fine on Windows Xp : when it reads a code and "understants it" it makes a beep and the code is written in the selected field (either a txt file, doc , or php form iti dosen't matter). I tried to connect it the my Fedora Core 4 (kernel 2.6.11 and then tried with 2.6.13) today and it lghts up, it beeps when a code is read BUT NOTHING IS WRITTEN. I tried in Open Office , Ktext and even in a php site that works in windows to receive from the barcode reader.
I also tried with a Hp t5525 Thin Client with Linux Embeded and kernel 2.4 and still dosen't work.
What's wrong? Is the speed of writing to fast for linux so nothing comes out?
The reader dosen't have/ need a driver because it is connected to the keyboard and works simultaneusly with it. I cand write the name from the keyboard and read the code with it (on windows).
ANy ideas?
