Barcode Scanner not working without keyboard attached
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2023 7:19 pm
Hello!
I have run into a small issue. We are using chrome mode to display a web page with our time clock information for employees to punch in and out. I have a small standalone barcode scanner so they can scan their timeclock badge. I noticed that if the raspberry pi boots up without a keyboard plugged into it the barcode scanner will not work. If I plug in a keyboard reboot the Pi then the barcode scanner works. Any ideas on how to get the scanner to work without a keyboard needing to be plugged in?
Computer: Raspberry Pi 3
Display: Raspberry Pi touch screen
Barcode Scanner: MJ-8200
Thanks!
