PosX Evo USB Barcode Scanner

Table of Contents

Usage

The PosX scanner has mostly sane defaults. There are a few things I like to configure like disabling the beep, and sometimes changing the terminator.

Here are some useful settings from the manual:

Beep levels

beep_low.png Beep Low
beep_off.png Beep Off

Entry terminator

terminator_cr.png Carriage Return only
terminator_lf.png Linefeed only
terminator_crlf.png Both
terminator_space.png Space
terminator_tab.png Tab

Scanning mode

trigger_mode.png Scan when trigger is pressed
continuous_mode.png Always scanning

Configuration

reset.png Reset
usb.png Set USB cable/protocol mode
clear_pre_post.png Clear pre/postamble
enable_all_code.png Scan any supported codes

Xorg config to set US layout

Specify layout because the scan codes need to correspond to qwerty layout.
