ntroduction
Worth Data's WDP Readers are versatile bar code readers that attach to the I M
PC, any PC keyboard-compatible computer, and all PC or Mac US ports. 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, STK Code, ITF Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, Code
128, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-E, UPC-A (with or without supplements),
GS1 Data ar, MSI, LabelCode4, LabelCode5, Code 93, and Plessey.
•Bar codes
•PC Attachment
The WDP provides an easy-to-use keyboard interface for the PC. Scanned
data is displayed on the PC as keyboard data - transparent to the host
application. The WDP also offers a dedicated US port for PC or Mac,
providing an alternative to the legacy keyboard interface. Data scanned
using the US interface appears as keyed data to the application.
•Scanner options
The WDP P22 Reader can accommodate a variety of scanners. Scanner
options include a stainless steel wand scanner, hand-held laser scanners,
MagStripe scanners for reading credit card magnetic strips, and bar code slot
scanners for badges and other thin, flat surfaces.
•ntegrated Wedge Readers
The Integrated Laser Readers and the Integrated Slot adge Reader are
complete WDP Readers with the decoder built into the scanner itself. Just
plug the unit in between your computer and keyboard or US port and
you're ready to go. The Keyboard interface works on any PC keyboard-
compatible computer while the US interface works on PC’s and Mac’s.
Available models are the LZ160-WDP, the LZ160-US , the LZ310-WDP,
Th LZ310-US , the LZ410-WDP, the LZ410-US Integrated Lasers, the
SLV-WDP Integrated Slot adge Reader (US only) and the SLI-WDP
Integrated Infrared Slot adge Reader (US only).
•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. The PC Y cable can
be switched from 5 pin to 6 pin and vice versa.

Components of WDP Reader
In the event the shipping box shows damage on arrival, please note the damage
on the carrier's receipt log. Open the box and inspect the contents for damage.
If there is visible damage, or if the unit fails to work, contact us with the details
of the trouble; we will be happy to send you a replacement.
The contents of your WDP Reader shipment should include some or all of the
following:
1. A P22 WDP Reader, Integrated Laser Reader, or Integrated Slot adge
Reader.
2. Velcro strips which can be used to conveniently attach the reader (P22) to the
side of your computer, monitor or desk.
3. A cable for attaching the WDP Reader to your computer.
For the: P22 F31 Keyboard Y-Cable or
C21 US Cable
For the: LZxxx-WDP C41 Keyboard Y-Cable
For the: LZxxx-USB C40 US Cable
For the: SLx-WDP C44-A US Cable ONLY
4. A Scanner (unless you ordered an Integrated Reader).
5. A scanner holder (or slot-scanner card deck).
6. A Utilities CD-ROM with Manuals & Setup Menus in PDF Format.
You probably didn't receive a power supply with your P22
WDP - even though your external P22 WDP decoder box has a
Power jack. Power supplies are rarely needed. Using a power
supply other than a Worth Data Power Supply, (our part
number F10 for 110v), will probably burn out the WDP circuit
board. Damage caused by a non-Worth Data power supply is
not covered by warranty. DON'T PLUG OTHER POWER
SUPPL ES NTO THE WDP -- even if the connector does fit,
you will fry the WDP board.
If your power supply oes not isplay this label, it oes
not belong to your WDP rea er. Only plug in a power supply that comes
from Worth Data an isplays this label.

nstallation
The keyboard wedge attachment and the US attachment are available for both
integrated readers and readers that use a separate decoder box (P22). Having a
reader that consists of a separate decoder box and scanner allows you to add a
power supply for low-power situations (99.9% of all PC’s won’t need a power
supply) and allows for the attachment of more than one scanner (i.e. a bar code
scanner and a magstripe scanner). The integrated models have the decoder
conveniently built-in to the scanner.
• USB nterface (PC and Mac)
The Reader is attached directly to the US port of the computer using a
US Cable C21 (on a P22), C40 (for the LZ160-US , the LZ310-US and
the LZ410-US ) or the C44-A for the SLV and SLI-WDP Slot adge
Readers. The Windows® or Macintosh® operating systems provide the
software required to access the US port. Data coming from the scanner
through the US port appears as keyboard data in your application. No
power supply is required for the US interface.
Models with built-in USB are:
P22 Wand/Laser/Magstripe-ready Decoder
LZ160-USB Integrated Laser Reader
LZ310-USB Integrated Laser Reader
LZ410-USB Integrated Laser Reader
SLV-WDP Integrated Slot adge Reader
SLI-WDP Integrated Infrared Slot adge Reader
• Keyboard Wedge (PC Only)
The Reader is placed near the computer, and is connected between the
computer and keyboard using a Y cable (F31/1 or C41). Velcro is
included for convenient attachment to your computer, monitor, desk, etc.
ar code data is received via the computer's keyboard port.
Integrated Keyboard Wedge models are:
LZ160-WDP Integrated Laser Reader
LZ310-WDP Integrated Laser Reader
LZ410-WDP Integrated Laser Reader
Keyboard Wedge models that require a separate decoder box are:
P22 Wand/Laser/Magstripe-ready decoder

USB nstallation for PC or Mac
Model LZ160-USB, LZ310-USB, LZ410-USB, SLV-USB and SL -USB
The Integrated WDP Readers have an integrated US port that can be attached
directly to the US port on any PC or Macintosh. The LZ160-US , LZ310-
US , and LZ410-US Readers use the C40 US Cable, and the SLV-WDP and
SLI-WDP use the C44-A US Cable.
When you plug the Integrated Reader into the US port, Windows 7, Vista, XP,
2000, ME, 98SE or the Mac will sense the new device and proceed to install the
necessary software for a HID US Keyboard (Windows systems may ask for the
original Windows CD-ROM to install the needed US drivers - be prepared).
There are no additional drivers needed other than what is already standard in
Windows or the Mac OS. Also, the Integrated Reader automatically senses the
US interface so there are no Computer nterface settings necessary. To install
the Integrated Reader on the US port:
1. Plug the flat US connector end of the C40 or C44-A cable into a US
port on the host computer or US hub.
2. The computer will sense the US device and install the necessary software.
The necessary drivers are standard in both Windows and the Mac. In
Windows, simply click “Next” or press ENTER at each prompt until the
installation is complete. If you have a problem with your US installation,
please see Appendix , Resolving USB Installation Issues for details.

Model P22
The WDP-P22 decoder has an integrated US port that can be attached directly
to the US port on any PC or Macintosh. When you plug the P22 into the
US port, Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000/ME/98SE or the Mac will sense the new
device and proceed to install the necessary software. There are no additional
drivers needed other than what is already in Windows or the Mac OS (Windows
systems may ask for the original Windows CD-ROM to install the needed HID
US drivers - be prepared). Also, the P22 automatically senses the US interface
so there are no Computer nterface settings necessary on the P22. To install the
WDP-P22 on the US port:
1. Plug the flat US connector end of the C21 cable into a US port on the
host computer or US hub.
2. Plug the small square end of the C21 cable into the US port on the WDP.
On the P22, the US port is next to the power jack.
3. At this point, the computer will sense the US device and install the
necessary software. The necessary drivers are already located on your hard
drive in both Windows and the Mac (for Windows systems, have your
Windows installation CD ready. In Windows, simply
click “Next” or press ENTER at each prompt until
the installation is complete. If you have a problem
with your Windows US installation, please see
Appendix , Resolving USB Installation Issues for details.
