Plug it in, scan the barcode, and it should act like you just typed
those numbers.

If it doesn't send you the values, but if the scanner beeps once (high
pitch eep,
not a low pitch erp), then the wedge is probably broken. Does your keyboard
still work when the wedge is plugged in? It should act like you just
typed in
the barcode, and look something like this 021200665646.
