	Hello,

	by using an USB sniffer like http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/UsbSnoop/ , 
you can monitor USB activity under windows when the scanner is powered on. If 
you let the scanner idle but there is still repeated USB activity, this would 
be most likely button status polling by the software.
	If nothing happens, the software might be using USB interrupt backed 
reads. In this case the very few first USB exchanges that happen when you 
press a button on the scanner should contain it. With Usbsnoop you can notice 
an USB read that starts, and receive the results a few seconds later.

Regards,
	Stef
