摘要

A system is disclosed for providing data from a graphical code reading device to a software module. The system includes a graphical code reading device that scans a graphical code and provides graphical code data. A computer is in electronic communication with the graphical code reading device and receives the graphical code data from the graphical code reading device. The computer includes a processor, a memory in electronic communication with the processor and a communications port in electronic communication with the processor for communicating with the graphical code reading device. An association may include a data type and a software module identifier. A driver is used to receive the graphical code data and obtain the software module identifier through use of the data type to provide the graphical code data to the software module identified by the software module identifier.
