Appendix B
ISA Internal Board Installation
Slot Installation with Keyboard Cabling
The WDP Reader can be kept out of the way by removing it from its case and
mounting it in a PC's ISA slot. It can use the slot for physical mounting only, and
doesn't communicate with the bus. Cables connect it between the computer and
keyboard, and bar code data is received via the computer's keyboard port.
Carefully follow these steps to convert the WDP Reader to Internal Wedge
mounting:
CAUTION: Your computer's power must be off and its power cord
unplugged before you install the WDP Reader. Attempting to install it with
the power on may give you a severe shock or damage your computer.
Remove the reader's case according to the instructions in Appendix A.
Using the illustration on the following page for a guide, place the special order
silver mounting bracket onto the end of the board, and use the included screws
to securely attach it to the board.
Remove the cover to your computer's slot cabinet according to the procedures
in the owner's manuals.
Insert the reader into any unused ISA slot. Be sure it is firmly seated in the
slot. Anchor the board to the computer's case with a screw at the top of the
metal bracket on the card.
Replace your computer's slot-cabinet cover according to the procedures in the
owner's manuals.
Using the illustration on the following page for a guide, plug the wand, laser
scanner, touch scanner or bar code slot scanner into the WDP Reader's Wand
port. (If you have a MagStripe slot scanner, see page 21.)
Using the illustration on the following page for a guide, connect the "Y"
cable's telephone-style jack to the WDP Reader's "Y" Cable port.
Unplug the keyboard cable from the back of the computer. Note its location
so you don't accidentally plug into the mouse or cassette port when installing
the "Y" cable.
Using the illustration on the following page for a guide, plug the end of the
keyboard cable into the "Y" cable's round female DIN connector.
Using the illustration on the following page for a guide, plug the "Y" cable's
male DIN connector into the back of the computer where the keyboard
previously plugged into.
