Worth Data P11/12 - Manual (Page 41)

C-3
JP8, the Laser (Decode Light)/Wand jumper:
Use 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.
Use 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.

JP9, the Wand/Magstripe jumper:
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.
