Explanation:
Wedge bedeutet hier, dass der Leser (einem Keil gleich) in die Verbindung zwischen Tastatur und Rechnung eingeschleift ist:

pc/MRP will work out of the box with any wedge type barcode reader. A wedge type barcode reader is defined as a bar code reader that inserts itself in between the computer key board and the CPU unit (i.e. the keyboard plugs into the wedge bar code reader and the wedge is plugged into the computer's keyboard connector). The computer will then read any input from either the wand or the keyboard.

Strichcode-Lesestift


Explanation:
Es handelt sich um einen Stift, den man in die Hand nehmen kann, um die Strichcodes damit zu lesen - im Gegensatz zu einem fest installierten Strichcodeleser neben einem Förderband/an einer Kasse.

disagree  Klaus Herrmann: Wedge hat nichts mit der Form zu tun, sondern damit dass das Lesegerät in die Tastaturleitung eingeschleift wird, s.u.
