Introduction
Worth Data' WDP Readers are versatile bar code readers that attach to the IBM
PC, XT and AT; all IBM PS/2 Models; any PC keyboard-compatible or bus-
compatible unit; and all Macintosh ADB models. The WDP provides bar code
input data to any host computer program exactly as if the data had been typed at
the keyboard, including function and control key support. WDP Reader features
include:
The WDP Reader automatically reads and discriminates between Code 39,
Full ASCII Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, Code 128, EAN-13, EAN-
8, UPC-E, UPC-A (with or without supplements), MSI, LabelCode4,
LabelCode5, Code 93, and Plessey.

PC or Macintosh Interface
The WDP Reader is presently the only reader capable of internal or external
installation on PCs (External-only on Microchannel PS/2's and the
Macintosh.) For external mounting, its lightweight, unobtrusive case can be
attached to the side of the computer, monitor or desk with Velcro. For internal
mounting, the board is easily removed from the case and inserted into a PC's
ISA slot. If your MAC or PC has only a USB port for keyboard attachment,
the USB Wedge Saver bridges the WDP to a USB port.
Scanner options
The WDP Reader comes with a high quality USA-made stainless steel wand
scanner. Additional scanner options include moving-beam laser scanners,
CCD scanners, MagStripe scanners for reading credit card magnetic strips,
and bar code slot scanners for badges and other thin, flat surfaces.
Integrated Laser & Integrated CCD Wedge Reader
The Integrated Laser Readers and the Integrated CCD Readers are complete
WDP Readers with the decoder built into the scanner handle. Just plug the
unit in between your computer and keyboard and you're ready to go. They
work with any PC keyboard-compatible computer, all Macintosh ADB
models and USB computers (using the Wedge Saver).
Configuration is easy
The WDP Reader is easily configured for your system by scanning a bar coded
Setup Menu. There are no dip switches to set. On the separate decoder
models, opening of the reader's case is required only for internal bus
installation, Track 1&2 Magstripe, and for setting the decode light on a laser
or CCD Scanner. The PC/PS2 Y cable can be switched from 5 pin to 6 pin
and vice versa.
