If you mean on the scanner itself (from memory PPT8800 runs on Windows Mobile 2003? 2002?) you don’t need to do anything to interface with it. When you scan something it sends the result of any successful read as keystrokes to the active application (just stick a textbox or something on your form, give it focus and voila). If you mean from another PDA, you can attach the PPT8800 as a Bluetooth device and, again, it acts like a virtual keyboard as far as the active application is concerned. You don’t have to directly interface with the scanner at all.
