We have a client that used an Symbol LS1902T-1000 barcode scanner in their PS/2 port with QB POS.<br />
<br />
We just replaced their computer (used Dell PC with new XP load) and purchased a PS2 to USB adapter since the new computer didn't have a PS2 port.<br />
<br />
It powers up and scans (beeps and laser goes off), but doesn't provide any input (the numbers) and it fails the basic test in the QB POS software.<br />
<br />
Windows XP doesn't even prompt that it finds hardware and needs a driver. &nbsp;I tried it in a Windows 7 machine and it says USB device not recognized. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Can this device just not be used via USB or what?

Using Symbol Scanner With USB Rather Than PS/2

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Hardware

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
