Installation – MultiMode USB
The Slot Card Reader is available with a USB Adaptor cable that terminates in a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type A connector.
Most new computers have multiple USB ports that can be used with a wide variety of peripherals. Simply plug the adaptor into an
available USB port and the PS/2 cable from the reader into the adaptor and the operating system will display a dialog box to guide
you through the installation process. The device driver that Windows will install for this device is the driver used for HID keyboard
devices and is part of the Operating System. In some installations Windows will locate all of the files it requires without requiring
any user intervention. However, sometimes Windows will request the location of the files it needs. In these cases you may need
to have your Windows Installation CD in order to complete the installation. Most of these type installations simply require you to
click on the Next and Finish buttons repeatedly.
The ID Innovations Incorporated USB Bar Code Slot Reader can be installed to output data in a variety of ways. No other Bar
Code Slot Reader on the market can match its versatility.
Installation – USB Keyboard Wedge (Default)
By default when you install the ID Innovations Incorporated Bar Code Slot Reader it will output Card Data as Keyboard keystrokes.
This allows host applications designed to acquire Card Data from keyboard input, to seamlessly receive data from the Bar Code
Slot Reader. This mode of operation requires no additional software drivers and is available on Windows, Linux and MAC
operating systems.
Note: A Windows USB Accelerated keyboard driver is available for Free download from our Website at
www.idinnovations.com for use with the ID Innovations Incorporated USB products. This driver will output Card Data 3 to 5
times faster than the standard windows keyboard driver. In addition, this driver will block the user from entering keystrokes
during transmission to ensure that Card Data is not corrupted and it will allow you to modify the data from the card reader even
further.
Installation – USB Virtual COM Port
If you have a POS application that requires, or can support, an RS232 Bar Code Slot Reader, you can use the ID Innovations
Incorporated USB Bar Code Slot Reader. In this mode, the Card Data will be output to a Virtual COM port on your system. Simply
select this COM port in your POS application and you will be up and running in no time.
