For the Photo-Badging Option
The photo-badging option supports these
devices:
Video capture device: This feature works with
any video or frame-grabber board and
supported camera, or any video capture device
that is compliant with the "TWAIN" or "Wintab"
standard.
Writing Tablet: Any writing tablet that works
with your version of Windows can be used to
capture signatures. Signatures can also be
photographed, or entered using your mouse,
but a writing tablet is generally recommended.
Card Printer: Any desired printer can be used
that works with your version of MS Windows.
Installation: These items must be installed as per the
manufacturer's instructions provided with them.
Tip: If you have access to the internet, it is always best
to download and install the latest drivers available for
your devices.
Serial Port Installation and Set Up
Each PC to be associated with direct or
modem panel connection(s) must have free
serial port(s) available. Tip: In a multi-PC
(client-server) installation, the panel
connections can be spread across multiple
PCs as desired.
Windows will normally auto-detect the new
serial card/port when you start the computer
(after installing the new serial card).
Alternatively, you can select Add New
Hardware from the windows "Control Panel".
For details on installing or setting up a serial
card that is not 'plug-and-play', refer to the
documentation provided with the serial card.
Note: This software requires serial ports that are NOT
sharing computer 'resources'. Check to ensure that all
applicable serial ports (COMx) are set to a unique
interrupt (IRQ) and address (I/O range). This can be
done through the Windows 'Control Panel'. (From the
Start menu, select Settings, Control Panel, System,
and Device Manager.)
A bus mouse can be installed to free up an additional
serial port if required.
