After plugging in and installing drivers for a wireless bar code reader, which of the following is the LAST step needed to configure the device?

Installing an inventory tracking application is an optional software step that depends on the intended use case, not a required device configuration step - the reader must be paired first.

Wireless barcode readers are paired to their cradle or base station by scanning a configuration barcode printed on or supplied with the cradle. This pairing step establishes the wireless link between the scanner and its receiver, and is performed after all driver installation is complete - making it the last required configuration step before the device is operational.

After driver installation Windows automatically enables the device in Device Manager - manually enabling it is not typically the last required step, as it should already be enabled post-installation.

Temporary device drivers are not a standard concept in Windows driver installation - removing them is not a recognized final configuration step for barcode readers.
