USB Scanner driver

[Manavendra Nath Manav]

Hi All,

I have connected Metrologic USB Scanner, but Fedora is not able to atta=
ch a
driver to it. Is there a generic USB scanner driver which I can associa=
te
with it to make it work? This scanner is HID compliant device. Can't I =
make
usbhid driver to make the scanner work? The sources from Metrologic sai=
d
that it should work in USB Keyboard emulation mode. How to enable this?

Apart from a few very old scanners which are repackaged SCSI devices,
scanners are handled by libusb. There is no kernel driver involved.

Keyboard emulation is a bad idea. You need to find the correct backend of SANE
for your scanner.

In my Barcode scanner device SANE utility is not supported according
to the documentation of Metrologic. Is it correct that SANE is
predominately used for image capture functionality? how we can use it
for barcode scanning?

You need to mention that it is a barcode scanner. That changes everything.
Disregard what I wrote.

You forgot to say that this is a *barcode* scanner. It should work fine in USB
keyboard mode. If it's configured in some other mode, use the "MetroSelect
Configuration Guide" to change the mode (by scanning some special barcodes).

Yeah, I forgot to mention that it's a barcode scanner. I reconfigured
the device mode as USB HID keyboard as given in the Metrologic manual.
Now the driver associated with it shows as "usbhid". But still when i
scan any barcode i am not able to see any output on the console. Is
there any redirection required?
