I need to capture that data (and stop it appearing as keyboard data). In an ideal world it would appear as a TTY (serial) device instead.
Is there any way I can do this or do I need a different scanner?
I think last time I faced this sort of problem I solved it with uinput which I think can intercept the raw input from a HID and spit it out as a pseudo character device. I left the details of exactly how I did it at my previous employers I'm afraid. :-(
I'd say if you can solve it do...using serial TTY scanner complicates life somewhat because you have to power it. Though from memory both Wasp and I think Datalogic make devices that can appear as a USB Serial device rather than a USB HID.
