Worth Data P11/12 JP8, the Laser Decode Light/Wand jumper, JP9, the Wand/Magstripe jumper

JP8, the Laser (Decode Light)/Wand jumper:

WUse the W jumper setting if you have a wand, touch scanner or bar-code slot scanner connected to the Wand port, or if you'll be using a wand and laser scanner interchangeably with the Wand port. This is the default setting shipped on the WDP P11/12.

Using a laser scanner with the W setting causes the scanner's decode light to be on all the time. This means that your laser scanner won't give a visual indication (flashing decode light) of successfully-read bar codes, but as most people just listen for the WDP's beep anyway instead of staring at the scanner, this is unlikely to affect anyone.

LUse the L jumper setting if you'll be using only a laser scanner with the Wand port. (As shipped, the decode light is always on. If you change the setting to L, a wand will no longer work but the laser scanner's decode light will flash as a bar code is successfully read.

The WDP Reader has a port labeled "MagStripe", for adding a bar-code slot scanner, MagStripe reader or wand scanner as a second scanning device. However, the MagStripe port can not be used with laser scanners. If you want to have both a laser scanner and another scanner (such as a wand) hooked up at the same time, you must plug the laser scanner into the Wand post and the other scanner into the MagStripe port.

Set JP9 to M to use a 2 or 3 track Magstripe reader with the MagStripe port, or W to use a single track magstripe scanner, wand, touch scanner or slot-badge reader with the MagStripe port.
