Mac OS X recognizes the Symbol PL470 wireless barcode scanner as a keyboard when the base station is plugged in via USB, but it is not able to understand it. There is a specific trick involved in getting the input to match up. I use the scanner mainly to input bar codes into Delicious Library (and Delicious Library will crash if the input is not valid!). 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.

Thanks for posting! The Firewire 410 is a legacy product and will not be updated further for support on OS X 10.11. The last driver available was released in 2012 and only fully supports up to OS 10.7.

• Scan in a bar code. Belkin 11mbps wireless driver for mac. • 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.

76 followed by a line break (a keyboard return is included at the end of a valid scan). I'm not entirely sure what is happening here; my best guess is that the lack of base station connectivity causes the scanner to reset its keyboard encoding output. That, or reconnecting to the base station causes a reset or renegotiation with the computer. Whatever the reason, it works -- happy scanning! We use the Symbol LS 4278 (link from where I buy them, ).

And no, the devs don't know anything special. They asked me to find something that could scan barcodes and barf out the output into a FileMaker Pro database field. I read good things about that model, bought one to try, and we've bought several since as we do more and more projects that include barcode scanning. Edit: macosxhints.com user cliffkujala also notes below that he uses the LS 4278. Maybe that model is just super Mac friendly? We also use a wired USB model that works well too, but I don't have that model number on hand.
