Keyport is Datatech’s software wedge for the Windows environment. (What is a software wedge?) It is ideal for laptops, Intermec's 6640 and 6650, and connecting any serial device to your PC.

Keyport takes ASCII input from a serial port (usually from a bar code scanner or automatic scale) and sends the data as keystrokes to a Windows program. Keyport allows you to remap ASCII characters to any key or any combination of keys up to 255 strokes long. Characters can also trigger actions such as bringing a window to front, or running an application.

Version 4.0 allows the user to define different transactions for each window. Keyport automatically detects which window is in front and verbally guides the user through the transaction (patent pending.)

Version 4.1 adds GM 1724 support. Version 4.1 can be configured to automatically detect and process data from your GM 1724 labels. Your application will receive only the data that it requires when you scan GM 1724 labels.

A PC running Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT or XP.
