Ensure that the intended client device to be used with the Reader base has had a version of the MEI reader software installed. This software allows the Reader base to be recognized as a new USB device when the installation is completed and is available from either MEI or from your currency counting equipment provider.

If the equipment is not powered off, do so now.  Route the cable attached to the reader base to the rear of the personal computer such that you can attach the opposite end of the cable to the USB port on the personal computer.  Note: If you are using more than one reader base, each base must be installed to a separate USB connector.  Attach the cable as shown below to the personal computer such that the USB connector is fully attached and latched if appropriate.    Note: The next generation of the EASITRAX SC READER base will be compatible with USB connections and will not require keyboard connector pass through to power the device.  Once the reader base cable is fully installed, you may power on the personal computer and allow the computer to boot up.  The blue front panel LED on the Easitrax SC Reader base should light and go through a brief power on test. Following this test only the blue power on indicator LED should be illuminated.  The Easitrax  SC Reader base is now ready for use with the back room accounting software loaded on your PC by your currency sorter/counter vendor. That software should allow you to read full cassettes and record identifying information prior to removal of the cashbox from the reader base.    You may wish to test the system functionality by placing an unread cashbox cassette onto the base following the instructions imprinted on the reader base.  Ensure that the cashbox handle is facing the front of the base and that the top side of the cashbox cassette is placed nearest to the reader base. Using the software, you may select from several different functions to verify that the reader base will read both full and empty cashboxes.  Once you have verified the performance of the system, you are ready to begin using your reader base in normal operation.

Power down and repower the client PC and ensure that the reader base is recognized and that the power on indicator blue led comes on.
