best regards,

This year I wrote an app for barcodescanners, connected to the
RS232/serial port. Most of the time, the connector of the
barcodescanner seems it would fit to an printer/parallel-port, since
it has 25 pins. But don't make this mistake, it is a real
serial-port-connector. On your computer you will find the more
standard 9-pins connector. (In your case I would advise to use a
25-to-9 pins converter)
So far I still don't have an official homepage to release a demo of
this app. In case you're willing, I can send you the demo by mail.(If
others are also interested, feel free to sent a request)

Greetings,

B.Boelens
