USB DRIVER INSTALLATION (WINDOWS)
On hosts with the Windows operating system, the first time the MICRSafe is plugged into a
specific USB port, Windows will open a dialog box which will guide you through the process of
installing a driver for the device; follow the instructions given in the dialog box. Windows will
install the driver that is used for HID keyboard devices; this driver is a basic component of all
modern versions of the Windows operating system. Sometimes, Windows will find all the files it
needs. Other times, Windows will need to know the location of the files it needs. If Windows
prompts for the file locations, insert the CD that was used to install Windows on your PC and
point Windows to the CD’s root directory. Windows should find all the files it needs there.
Once completed, the driver installation process described above will not recur unless the device
is subsequently plugged into a different USB port. After this installation, the device can
communicate with user’s application programs such as MICRbase (P/N 22000021) to read
checks, credit cards and setup configurations.
