how to install WCS3900 CCD Barcode Scanner (PS2)
- Connect the scanner to a free PS/2 port on your computer, POS terminal, or library workstation using the PS/2 cable included with the unit.
- Power up the host system; in most setups, the scanner will be recognized automatically as a keyboard input device, allowing barcode data to appear in any active text field or application.
- Open the target application (checkout screen, inventory form, or cataloging interface) and place the cursor in the input field where the scanned data should appear. Scan a barcode to verify that data fields populate correctly.
- If your environment requires specialized formatting, consult the application settings or vendor software for options such as prefix, suffix, or data modifiers. In many PS/2 deployments, no driver installation is necessary for basic scanning.
- Test various barcode conditions (standard, damaged, or low-contrast labels) to ensure reliable reads. Adjust the scanner’s position and distance as needed to maximize read success in your particular workflow.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What interfaces does the WCS3900 support? A: The model uses a PS/2 interface (keyboard wedge) that is ideal for legacy systems and environments where USB is not available or desired.
- Q: Is driver installation required? A: For basic scanning, most PS/2 setups do not require drivers; the device typically functions as a keyboard input. Optional software may be used for advanced formatting or integration with certain applications.
- Q: Which environments is the WCS3900 best suited for? A: Office desks, library circulation counters, and light retail counters where quick, reliable barcode capture reduces manual data entry and speeds up transactions.
- Q: Can the scanner read damaged or poorly printed barcodes? A: CCD-based scanners are designed to read standard barcodes reliably and can handle typical label wear; performance depends on label quality and printing.
- Q: How do I verify that the scanner is working correctly? A: Open a text field in your software, scan a barcode, and confirm that the scanned data appears in the field. If nothing appears, check the PS/2 connection, ensure the host accepts keyboard input, and try a different barcode.
