The
USBX Worth Data Wedge Saver™ allows older legacy keyboard wedge bar code readers from such
manufacturers as PSC, Metrologic, Symbol, Percon, and Worth Data
to attach to a USB port. Users upgrading to new PCs or
Macs that only have USB ports can use this device to
bridge their older wedge readers with 6 pin mini din
cable connection to their new USB computer
system. This device powers up as a high power device to provide enough power for older power hungry bar code scanners.

Save That Old Wedge
Reader
Older keyboard bar code scanners can have new life on modern computers with this device. If your PC or Mac doesn't
have the 6 pin mini din keyboard port and only has
a USB port, you don't have to buy a new bar code reader.
Now you can use your old PSC, Metrologic, Symbol or any other pc keyboard
interface wedge reader and attach it to your USB only PC
using the Worth Data Wedge Saver. Your wedge reader then
appears to the system as a USB HID keyboard. Data is transmitted
as keyboard data; exactly like keyboard wedge data!
So don't throw away
that wedge reader. It may be worth several hundred dollars
and may have several years life yet. For only $25.00, you can
continue to use it with a USB port indefinitely.
Keyboard Wedge
Readers
If your PSC Laser Reader, Symbol Laser Reader, Metrologic Laser Reader or other manufacturers wedge reader cable already has a male 6 pin mini din connector, you can plug it directly into the Wedge Saver. The Wedge Saver requires the wedge reader to be configured to output AT keyboard key codes. If you have a splitter "Y" cable, the other end just dangles, or you can cut it off sharply.
If you have a older Worth Data wedge reader, or Worthington Data Solutions reader, (WDP, TriCoder, MagReader),
you will plug in just the male end of the Worth Data Y-Cable to connect from the wedge
reader into the Wedge Saver. The following Worth Data bar code scanners are compatible with the USBX Wedge Saver:
- WDP P11, WDP P12, WDP P11/12, WDP P01 (Non USB)
- T60, T61, T62, T63 TriCoders
- M61 Magstripe Scanners
- LZ100-WDP & LZ200-WDP Laser Scanners
- P16 CCD Scanners
- B61, B62, B68 RF Base Stations
Windows Configuration
Once you plug the Wedge Saver into a
USB port, Windows will sense the presence of a new USB HID "human interface device" and
will install the driver for the new device or prompt you to select the standard driver. When you scan a barcode,
the data comes across the USB interface as keyed data and input into any application wherever you place your cursor.
Of course the USB keyboard remains interchangeably usable.
PSC
Readers, Symbol Readers, and Metrologic
Readers are all compatible with
the USBX Wedge
Saver
