PosX Evo USB Barcode Scanner

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

Entry terminator

Xorg config to set US layout

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

Listing 1: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-barcode-scanner.conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier      "various barcode scanner us layout"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchProduct    "607 PS/2-Cable To USB Converter V:2.2|CodeXML Modem|The Code Corporation Code Corporation Code Reader 2500"
        Option  "XkbLayout"     "us"
