Configuring the WDP Reader for your computer

WDP Reader Setup Menu

Turn on your computer: You should hear three beeps -- an indication the WDP Reader is functioning correctly.

Find the laminated Reader Setup Menu sheet and look it over. (For bar code slot scanners, the Reader Setup Menu is a deck of bar coded cards.) This simple menu lets you easily configure the WDP Reader to work with almost any computer system, and tailor its bar code reading and data format characteristics precisely to your needs. To scan Reader Setup Menu bar codes and configure your reader,

you must know the right way to scan bar codes. If you are new to scanning, be sure to read Appendix K - Scanning Instruction.

These are the WDP Reader's default settings. The WDP Reader is shipped configured to these settings, and can be reset to them at any time by reading the Start Setup and Reset bar codes on the Reader Setup Menu. If you need to change any settings, or want to learn more about the WDP Reader options, the next pages explain, step by step, how to set them and what they do.
