Barcode Scanner not connecting to MacBook Pro

I tried connecting my wired barcode scanner to my MacBook Pro. It makes all the sounds it is supposed to - it beeps twice to indicate power, and beeps to indicate that it has scanned a barcode, but it does not write anything in TextEdit. This same scanner has worked perfectly with this MacBook Pro in the past. I haven't used it for a few months, and now it won't connect. I'm using macOS Ventura 13.5.1. How can I fix this? Thank you.

Does not sound compatible...

if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates...

Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support
