Our county motor vehicle department uses handheld bar code scanners. &nbsp;Their current model has a keyboard wedge Y cable with a PS2 connector. &nbsp;We are replacing some of their computers and the new machines do not have a PS2 port for keyboard or mouse. &nbsp;Rather than buy a PS2/USB adapter for the old units, we purchased a Unitech MS180 barcode scanner that connects via USB. &nbsp;With no special programming, it correctly reads the bar codes on the DMV license renewal forms, titles, etc. for their software applications. &nbsp;However, the users report that the new scanner needs to be held so much closer to the document before it recognizes &amp;&nbsp;scans the barcode. &nbsp;I cannot find any information or instructions on how to adjust the sensitivity or scan area (or whatever) that would help resolve this issue. &nbsp;The user's guide has several pages of bar code programming options but I am not familiar with the application's programming code or scanner configuration lingo to figure out what options might work. &nbsp;Does anyone have any ideas on this for me? &nbsp;
