Install an ID Innovations MSR PS2 Card Reader

Hardware Setup Wizard | Compatible Card Readers

 

Both the ID Innovations credit card reader and, if used, the Welch Allyn IT3220 handheld bar code scanner, are installed between the keyboard and the computer.

The illustration below includes both of these pieces of hardware. If you are installing only one of these pieces, just bypass the one not used.

It is strongly recommended that you use the Hardware Setup Wizard to configure your Point of Sale hardware. You can access the setup wizard from the File menu and from individual hardware workstation preferences pages.

To install the credit card reader:

  1. Make sure the Point of Sale installation disk is in your CD-ROM drive. (Cancel the Installation Wizard if it launches.)

  2. Launch Point of Sale.

  3. Select Hardware Setup Wizard from the File menu.

  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect and setup your card reader.
