How to determine the connected USB device (scanner)?

Question

USB

When connecting a usb 2D barcode scanner in windows nothing happens. No new devices appear in device manager.
Mindeo scanner, I can't find out the model. And it is very necessary to find out which drivers to download and which system barcodes to use to select the operating mode.

Answer 1

Drivers are usually not needed, such a device is defined as a HID-compatible keyboard. Try to open Notepad and scan some code - if the code appears in Notepad, then everything is OK and you don't need to set anything.

Answer 2

I think the scanner pretends to be a keyboard. Try to put the cursor in any text input field and read any commodity barcode.
Look for the scanner under keyboards in device manager.

Answer 3

Found out what kind of scanner. ep2000y (not even a mindeo campaign).
But not in the way you would like. I just unscrewed it and read the model name on the back panel ...
