USB MagneSafe V5 Swipe and Insert Reader

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.
MOUNTING
The Reader may be mounted with screws or fastening tape as described below.
1.
The Reader can be mounted on a surface in various ways:
•
By two screws through the surface attached to the bottom of the unit and running the
cable on the top of the surface
•
By two screws through the surface attached to the bottom of the unit and by drilling a
hole in the surface for the cable and running the cable through the hole
•
By attaching the unit to the surface with fastening tape and running the cable on the
top of the surface
Note
The two mounting inserts are 3mm diameter, 0.5mm pitch, 6.4mm
deep. The length of the screws used depends on the mounting
surface thickness and the thickness of washers (if used).
The mounting dimensions for the full size reader are shown in Figure 2-2; the mini size is
shown in Figure 2.3. Determine the method of mounting required.
Note
Installation for insert reader models (210630XX) can be found in Appendix A.
