Introduction

Worth Data' WDP Readers are versatile bar code readers that attach to the IBM PC, XT and AT; all IBM PS/2 Models; any PC keyboard-compatible or bus- compatible unit; and all Macintosh ADB models. The WDP provides bar code input data to any host computer program exactly as if the data had been typed at the keyboard, including function and control key support. WDP Reader features include:

Bar codes

The WDP Reader automatically reads and discriminates between Code 39, Full ASCII Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, Code 128, EAN-13, EAN- 8, UPC-E, UPC-A (with or without supplements), MSI, LabelCode4, LabelCode5, Code 93, and Plessey.

PC or Macintosh Interface

The WDP Reader is presently the only reader capable of internal or external installation on PCs (External-only on Microchannel PS/2's and the Macintosh.) For external mounting, its lightweight, unobtrusive case can be attached to the side of the computer, monitor or desk with Velcro. For internal mounting, the board is easily removed from the case and inserted into a PC's ISA slot. If your MAC or PC has only a USB port for keyboard attachment, the USB Wedge Saver bridges the WDP to a USB port.

Scanner options

The WDP Reader comes with a high quality USA-made stainless steel wand scanner. Additional scanner options include moving-beam laser scanners, CCD scanners, MagStripe scanners for reading credit card magnetic strips, and bar code slot scanners for badges and other thin, flat surfaces.

Integrated Laser & Integrated CCD Wedge Reader

The Integrated Laser Readers and the Integrated CCD Readers are complete WDP Readers with the decoder built into the scanner handle. Just plug the unit in between your computer and keyboard and you're ready to go. They work with any PC keyboard-compatible computer, all Macintosh ADB models and USB computers (using the Wedge Saver).

Configuration is easy

The WDP Reader is easily configured for your system by scanning a bar coded Setup Menu. There are no dip switches to set. On the separate decoder models, opening of the reader's case is required only for internal bus installation, Track 1&2 Magstripe, and for setting the decode light on a laser or CCD Scanner. The PC/PS2 Y cable can be switched from 5 pin to 6 pin and vice versa.
