Need Some Help with a Barcode Scanner

[erehwon6811]

I got this old barcode scanner I'm trying to get up and running so I can use it with a media cataloging system called Opendb. The scanner is a Intermec 9510 that comes with a wand. I also have an Intermec 1620 laser scanner that plugs into the into the other thing. Those links are all I've been able to find on them since they're so old.

I'm trying to figure out if there is a driver or some kind of configuration I need to do to get it to work in XP. I have it pluged in and it seems to work. The laser scanner will read, but nothing comes up in word, excel, or access. It connects into the computer through a parallel cable.

im not gonna be much help here, but i have done a few POS systems with barcode readers.

now most of the time in windows xp i haven't need any drivers. usually plug it in and it works.

to check just pull up notepad, and scan over something, usually beeps and then will put the data in as text.

if it doesn't then you need drivers, look into computer properties and see if it needs the driver.
