Depends on the scanner, but most of them ship defaulted to generate keyboard input - so you don't need to do anything except ensure that the input is going to the correct place.

If that isn't what you want, then you need to look to teh manufacturer of the specific make and model of your scanner for advice.

Yes, most of them are - they still default to keyboard input so that most people can just plug in an start.

I have no idea - as I said, it can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Look at their website!
