Quick Start
This Quick Start section covers EzWriter installation and WorkShop software installation. A
simple example of WorkShop & EzWriter operation is given to introduce product
operation. The example is writing a few characters to a magnetic stripe card and then
reading the card to review the written data.
Installing WorkShop Software
The WorkShop software runs on Windows 95/98, 2000, ME, & XP for EzWriter with an
RS232 communication interface. For the USB interface, only Windows 2000, Windows XP
are supported.
From a CD or from a downloaded file, install the WorkShop by double clicking on the
Setup file. The downloaded version is in a Zip file; the internal files must be extracted
before starting. Follow the directions and process of the installation wizard. The result is
the “IDT Reader/Writer WorkShop” menu item added to the Programs menu in START.
Installing the EzWriter
The EzWriter is used in an indoor environment. Locate the EzWriter where it is
convenient to operate and protected from dust and liquids. For right-handed persons,
swiping a card is most convenient from right to left. Position the EzWriter so the flared
card entrance is on the right. A protective shipping insert is located in the card slot and
must be removed prior to Reader/Writer operation. Remove the protective strip at any
time by lifting it straight up and out of the slot. The 24 VDC power adaptor is provided.
The adaptor input voltage range is 100 to 240 VAC and can be used in most countries.
The line power plug may need to be adapted to the power outlet connector. Remove the
power adaptor from the packing box. Do not connect the power adaptor until all the other
connections are made.
The communication type can be RS232 or USB-CDC . Proceed to the Communication
Interface section corresponding to the interface of your EzWriter unit.
Communication Interface
RS232
The EzWriter has a communication cable with a DB-9 connector that fits most computer
serial (RS232) COM port connectors. An adaptor can be used to adapt to a DB-25
connector if necessary. See the Specifications, Interface Section for the port settings.
Connect the DB-9 connector to the PC and insure it is fully seated into the connector.
Connect the power adaptor output to the power connector on the back of the DB-9 shell.
Finally, connect the power adaptor to the AC line power outlet. When power is applied,
the LED on the Reader/Writer is orange for a moment and then becomes green. If the
LED does not light, check the connections and the availability of power from the power
outlet.
