| 1. An interface for enabling a plurality of data capture systems, each operative for capturing transaction data, to respectively
communicate with a plurality of open applications executed by a host computer, comprising:
a queue for arranging the transaction data processed by one of the open applications, and management data processed by another
of the open applications;
a device list for listing all the data capture systems;
a device handler for managing the device list and identifying the data capture system to which the processed transaction data
and the processed management data are to be transmitted; and
a queue handler for transmitting the processed transaction data and the processed management data from the queue to the identified
data capture system without closing any of the open applications.
