Skipping keyboard setup for barcode scanner
I have an Adesso NuScan 1000 series bar code scanning device. It
works fine, except every time I reboot, I get a Keyboard Setup Assistant window that says: Your keyboard cannot be identified and will not be usable until it is identified. To identify this keyboard click Continue. If your keyboard is working properly and you have an additional USB input device connected to your computer that is not a keyboard, you can skip this set. The options are (Continue), or I can close the window with the red button. If I click on Continue, it wants me to press a key, so I close the window Trouble is, this comes up every time I reboot. Admittedly, I don't reboot very often, as something is screwed up and I have to turn it off several times (Right now Spotlight says it will be reindexing for 37 more minutes). I don't know if that has something to do with this window showing up (will it go away with a clean reboot?). |

I got a clean reboot, the window came up again.

The Amazon reviews for the product, indicate it is Plug and Play, and apparently does something useful without being reconfigured. The downloadable manual (covering more than one product, so potentially a useless document), says the contact barcode scanner can be programmed for various emulations. http://www.adesso.com/productmanuals...can%201000.pdf Perhaps you've set it up for something Windows is not expecting ? If you look in Device Manager, what does it show ? Paul |

Locate the "My computer" icon on your desktop. Right click the icon, and select "Properties". Click the "Hardware" tab. Click the "Device Manager" button at the top. click the (+) in each entry, to expand the entry. Right click an entry and select "Properties" to get more info. Once in "Properties" for a keyboard, use the Details tab. On some kinds of hardware devices, the "Hardware IDS" value is interesting. My keyboard for example, reports for Hardware ID ACPI\PNP0303 *PNP0303 That means my BIOS prepared the ACPI table of objects, and the keyboard was handled as some kind of standard object. In the case of other devices, like things on the PCI bus, you can get VEN and DEV numbers, which help indicate what chip is involved. That is useful for finding drivers and the like. The intention with ACPI type entries, is they may be supported via built-in drivers in the OS. I can think of at least one case, where a separate driver was required, but that was because a motherboard maker decided to craft their own ACPI entry. And in that case, a driver was needed in the OS, to work with it. So it could be, that some part of all that automation, is not happy with the identity your barcode scanner is using. Paul |
