USB Installation on a PC or Mac If you are attaching a WDP to a computer which doesn't have a traditional keyboard port, (5 or 6 pin din on PC or ADB on Mac), and only has a USB port for attaching a keyboard, you must use the Wedge Saver to bridge the WDP to the USB port. When you plug the Wedge Saver into the USB port, Windows-98 or the Mac will sense the new device and proceed to install the necessary software.

Preamble A "Preamble" is a user-specified data string transmitted at the beginning of each bar code. For example, if you specify the preamble @@ and read data of 123456, "@@123456" would be transmitted to your computer. The default is no preamble. To select a preamble, scan up to 15 characters from the "FULL ASCII MENU" on the back of the Reader Setup Menu, and then scan SET when you're done. To return to the no preamble setting, scan CLEAR here instead of scanning SET or any characters fro

Use None (the default), if you don't have a MagStripe scanner. If you have a single- track scanner, use 1, 2 or 3 to match its track. If you have a dual-track scanner and want to read both tracks, use 4 for tracks 1 and 2, or 5 for 2 and 3. Use 6, 7 or 8 if you have a dual-track scanner but want to read only track 1, 2 or 3 respectively. For all Driver's licenses,(including California) use 8 or 9.
