Here's how to get it to work. It's a weird series of steps.
- Make sure the scanner is synced to the base station and the base station plugged into your Mac.
- Open a new document in TextEdit or TextWrangler.
- Scan in a bar code.
- If it doesn't work, you will either see junk/whitespace or nothing.
- Now, unplug the power from the base station.
- Scan again. You will get an error on the scanner saying it can't contact the base station.
- Plug the base station back into the electrical and hit enter on the scanner to have it reconnect.
- Try scanning again. You should now have a valid bar code, e.g. 781932386776 followed by a line break (a keyboard return is included at the end of a valid scan).
