Capturing the onkeydown event, I was able to see the thing that was most likely making TextEdit freak out was the scanner attempting to send CTRL+SHIFT+J sequences. My next step was to write a simple HTML web form and some Javascript to see if I could get a better handle on what exectly the scanner was trying to type out. So the scanner did work, but the results were a little more raw then what I was expecting having only used higher end scanners. There was also a lot of beeping as some unknown characters were attempted to get typed into TextEdit. What I got back was a whole bunch of gibberish, but I could at least make out some information like my name and address inside there. Plugging it into my Mac, it showed up as a keyboard just fine. In the box you get the scanner and a 1-sheet Quick Refernce Guide with Chinese as the first language. Unboxing the scanner, it definatly is no frills. Looking to save some money, I found some much lower cost scanners (in the $50 range) on Amazon.

The old scanners we had were a higher end model that decoded the data in the PDF 417 and let you configure the fields and order the scanner would return, so you could basically put your cursor at the top of a form, scan the barcode and the form would get filled in just like it was being typed from a keyboard. We're using a new system this year and looking to get new scanners. This greatly speeds up entry of member data (name and address).

The convention I volunteer at has for many years used barcodes scanners to scan driver's license data to speed the import for at-con registration forms. I didn't need any of that as I was using a hardware USB scanner that appears to the computer as a keyboard. I spent a fair amount of time searching the interwebs for something out there to do this, but most all the libraries I did find were more about scanning/decoding the image of the barcode itself (like with a webcam).
The result was an interesting reading through specs for the PDF 417 and DMV websites, but I did get a rough proof of concept together to at least show it works.

This weekend I wrote a Javascript AAMVA Driver License/Identification Card Parser for use with USB 2D Barcode Scanners.
