Preface for ML 2 A: This manual basically applies to the MCI 111 A Keyboard but also to the Stand-Alone OCR/MSR device ML 2 A. In this case the keyboard part does not need to be considered. Congratulations on purchasing this PrehKeyTec product! The MCI 111 A alphanumeric keyboard is the ideal solution for fast and error-free input of machine-readable data.
Programming of the individual key positions is done with our easy-to-use programming software WinProgrammer. You can find the appropriate software packages, as well as additional notes regarding programming in the Support section of our web page http://www.prehkeytec.com. The figures in this manual might show pictures not exactly matching your customized keyboard type.
MCI 111 A keyboard Operating Instructions External Power Supply (hardware RS232 devices only) (optional for PS2 keyboard, required for ML 2 A RS232 type) Fig. 1 Package contents System requirements The MCI family keyboard has been developed for use with IBM-AT-compatible PS/2 and USB systems.
Additional driver software is required to use the wedge devices (MSR, OCR, AUX) via USB connection. Install the PrehKeyTec Virtual COM Port driver software before connecting the device to the PC. This driver and the utility CheckinConfigurator are included in our CheckinPackage.
PS2 / RS232 Connection (Product code "I1") This type always has a combined cable to connect all integrated modules: • Keyboard (6pin PS2, violet) • Glidepad (6pin PS2, green) • RS232 host interface connector for (D-Sub 9pin female, black) • Power Jack for optional external power supply (inside above RS232 connector) Fig 4...
To prevent damage, the jack automatically cuts off the Vcc line between keyboard and PC. • The ML 2 A RS232 model (product code "I3") is only operable with external power supply. Here the power supply is included in the delivery.
Host interface parameters - Factory defaults Factory defaults for the COM port hardware / host interface: A 9600-8-N-1 S 9600-7-E-1 Above port parameters are valid for both connection methods RS232 and virtual COM (USB). They can be configured with our utility CheckinConfigurator. Functional check After power on the keyboard executes a self-test - all four LEDs light up for a short time.
Modules OCR Reader This product is equipped with our OCR (optical character recognition) module "P2" which now supports reading both OCR data and magnetic cards through one COM port (either RS232 or virtual USB). The OCR device reads passports and similar machine readable documents with up to three lines of data.
Magnetic stripe reader (MSR) Unlike our standard keyboards, the MCI 111 A sends the module data through one COM port (either RS232 or virtual USB) - in conjunction with the OCR, BCR and AUX port data. The MSR module reads magnetic cards in accordance with ISO 7810 and 7811 (track 1, 2 and 3). In addition it is capable of reading ATB documents (tracks 1, 2 and 3) and AAMVA driver license cards.
AUX Port (optional) The optional AUX (auxiliary device port) is located on the rear side of the keyboard as 9-pin D-Sub male connector. Here additional RS232 devices, such as Barcode readers can be connected. Factory default protocol parameters for the AUX port: Fig.
Additional Features PrehKeyTec products are more than "just" keyboards. Below a brief list of additional features which can be included in our products. Please contact our sales representatives for details. Flexible programming of key codes All key positions can be changed to customer's demands. In the alphanumeric keypad design, the keys of the alphabetic section are pre-assigned according to the functions of a standard MF2 keyboard, but also here all keys can be customized by our programming software.
