Barcode scanner not found with Sample UWP app


I have a Honeywell Voyager 9520 (Model - Mk5145-31A38-I) which i am trying to make it work with the Sample UWP. I have tried all the modes in the scanner but nothing works. The app doesnt find the barcode at all. I am on Windows 10 and VS2015 professional. I dont understand what is USB HID mode for this scanner. I am new to barcode scanner stuff. Any pointers in making it work would be highly appreciated.

I have downloaded the drivers from the "Software" tab from this Honeywell link

USBSerial.jpg is when i use USB Serial Emulation. USBKey.jpg is when i use USB Keyboard emulation.

Solution

  • This GitHub sample uses the USB POS HID Scanner specification. From Device Manager screen capture it looks like this scanner doesn't support this.

    In addition to the devices listed, you can use barcode scanners from various manufacturers that adhere to the USB HID POS Scanner specification.

    However the scanner does emulate a USB input device (keyboard), so you could use a normal TextBox to capture the scanner input for example.
