1 Introduction

DataWedge is a utility that allows you to add advanced data capture capability to any application without
writing code. It runs in the background and handles the interface to both built-in and attached data
capture devices such as barcode scanners, mag-stripe readers and various Bluetooth and serial
peripherals. The captured data is converted to keystrokes and sent to the target application as if it was
typed on the keypad. Data is buffered to accommodate continued data capture even into slower target
applications. DataWedge 3 has been re-architected for scalability, extensibility and robustness, adding
many customer-requested features.
