Installation

The several methods of WDP attachment are:

• External Wedge

The Reader is placed near the computer, and is connected between the computer and keyboard. Velcro is included for convenient attachment to your computer, monitor, desk, etc. Bar code data is received via the computer's keyboard port.

• Internal Installation on PC (P11/12)

The WDP Reader Models P11/12/P01 have a printed circuit board which can be removed from the case and mounted in any unused PC's ISA slot.

Internal Wedge mounting uses the slot for physical mounting only -- it doesn't communicate with the bus. Cables connect the board level reader between the computer and keyboard; bar code data is received by the keyboard port. DOS users can also install the WDP P11/12 so that it communicates with the bus instead of the keyboard interface. If you prefer Internal Installation, see Appendix B for details.

The Lasers and CCD are available in the decoder built into the scanner housing, thereby eliminating the separate decoder. These models of the WDP are:

• Integrated Laser WDP Readers

These readers have to be attached externally. The LZ100-WDP and LZ200-WDP Readers are laser scanners with the decoder built into the scanner housing. They are connected between the computer and keyboard using a Y cable or the USB Wedge Saver. Decoded bar code data is transmitted as though it has been keyed. These readers do not require a separate decoder box; however there is no power supply option for low powered PCs, and there is no second scanner attachment possible. 99.99% of PCs have sufficient power.

• Integrated CCD Wedge Reader

This reader has to be attached externally. The Integrated CCD Reader has the decoder built into the scanner case. Connected between your computer and keyboard, or to the USB Wedge Saver, it transmits decoded bar code data to the computer's keyboard port. These readers do not require a separate decoder box; however there is no power supply option for low powered PCs, and there is no second scanner attachment possible. 99.99% of PCs have sufficient power.
