SECTION 2. INSTALLATION

This section describes the Windows Plug and Play Setup.

WINDOWS PLUG AND PLAY SETUP

On hosts with the Windows operating system, the first time the reader is plugged into a specific
USB port, Windows will pop up a dialog box, which will guide you through the process of
installing a device driver for the reader. After this process is completed once, Windows will no
longer request this process as long as the reader is plugged into the same USB port. The device
driver that Windows will install for this reader is the driver used for HID devices and it is part of
the Windows operating system. When the dialog box pops up, follow the instructions given.
Sometimes Windows will find all the files it needs on its own without giving any prompts. Other
times Windows will need to know the location of the files it needs. If Windows prompts for the
file locations, insert the CD that was used to install Windows on your PC and point Windows to
the root directory of the CD. Windows should find all the files it needs there.
