What Larry Lipman said is exactly right... The pinout is industry standard...
Quoted from the standard model 100 manual (now that I'm becoming an expert
on the model 100 :--) ):

	PIN	Symbol	Description
	 1	  NC	
	 2	 RxDB	Receive data from bar code reader
	 3	  NC	
	 4	  NC
	 5	  GND	Ground
	 6	  NC
	 7	  GND	Ground
	 8	  NC
	 9	  VDD	+5

I have never used the bar code reader, though. I know Radio Shack publishes
programs in bar code format. 

I have the standard manual, and the Tech Ref manual, complete with
schematics, and theory, if you need to ask any questions...

Cheers!
