Use None (the default), if you don't have a MagStripe scanner. If you have a single-
track scanner, use 1, 2 or 3 to match its track. If you have a dual-track scanner and
want to read both tracks, use 4 for tracks 1 and 2, or 5 for 2 and 3.

Use 6, 7 or 8 if you have a dual-track scanner but want to read only track 1, 2 or
3 respectively.

For all Driver's licenses,(including California) use 8 or 9. See page 21 for more
information on the MagStripe scanner.

Characters

This setup option allows you to output ASCII characters different from the ones
scanned. (Don't use this option to configure the WDP Reader for your non-US
keyboard -- instead, use the Keyboard Country option described below.)

For example: Suppose you want the WDP Reader to output a hex 92 character
every time you scan a 1 (hex 31); you want to remap hex 31 to hex 92, (If you're
using 8 data bits, output of 80-F8 codes is possible.) Your Full ASCII Menu has
ASCII and hex values for the 128 characters.

1) Scan

the

Start Setup Bar Code

2) Scan

the

Characters Bar Code on the Setup Sheet.

3) Scan

3 1 and 9 2 to output hex 92 when reading a "1".

4) Scan up to 7 other pairs of character reassignments.

5) Scan

Set when complete.

6) Scan

End Setup to exit setup mode.

You can also eliminate characters by reassigning hex codes to FF. For example, to
strip all $ (dollar sign) characters from transmission, you would follow the above
instructions and scan 2 4 F F in step 3.

Magstripe output is frequently required to be changed to conform to some specific
software package's requirement. For example, you might want to change the = and
^ separator characters to spaces or CRs. Between trimming and replacement, you
should be able to reformat the Magstripe output to conform to most requirements.

Keyboard Country

This option configures the WDP Reader for your choice of 15 keyboard country
settings, such as USA (the default), UK, French, German, etc.

Scan the keyboard country bar code and then the two-digit code for your keyboard
country (listed on the Reader Setup Menu), such as 14 for UK.
