Setting up Devices
When you start PAY@PC for the first time, you will be asked to set up your hardware devices.
It is recommended that your review any documentation comes with your device(s) before installing or plugging
any device into your computer. In most cases, problems can be avoided by following the steps outlined in your
hardware’s documentation or by installing the software that came with the hardware before attaching the
device to your computer. If you are running a 64-bit version for a Windows OS, be aware that some devices
will not function correctly unless the 64-bit drivers are correctly installed. Should you have any questions about
using a third party device, contact the device manufacture directly for any drivers and support.
Similarly, PAY@PC works with Bluetooth 2.0 (or later) compliant devices. While PAY@PC has been rigorously
tested with numerous third party drivers and various operating systems, technology constantly evolves. For this
reason, PAY@PC has a Test Feature for each hardware device. Thus, the following is recommended when
installing any device to work with PAY@PC...
1. Start your computer and log on to your Windows OS as the System Administrator.
2. Read any documentation that came with the hardware that you will be adding to the computer.
3. Turn off any background software that might interfere with the installation of your hardware.
(i.e., Virus Checkers)
4. Install any software that came with the hardware according to the manufacture’s instructions.
5. If you are using any device that requires power, make sure that it is fully charged and/or plugged in.
6. If you are using a Bluetooth device, make sure that there is no interference within 3 feet (i.e., wireless
telephone or cell phone) and that the Bluetooth device is about 1 to 2 feet away from the computer.
7. Also make sure that you have the latest drivers, security patches and software on your computer.
8. If you are using a 64-bit OS, check with the manufacture to see if a 64-bit driver is needed or available.
9. Once you setup and attach the hardware to your computer, use the Test link located on setup screen
of for each device to make sure that it is functioning properly.
Special Note about using the Pocket Spectrum Bluetooth Card Reader and Printer:
Some notebook and desktop computers include Bluetooth hardware. The Pocket Spectrum works with the
Microsoft and Toshiba Bluetooth connection software that is included on some notebooks. The Pocket Spectrum
has also been tested with the Kensington (# 33348) and Belkin (F8T003 ver 2) USB Bluetooth adaptors. When
pairing the Pocket Spectrum using the Bluetooth software on your computer, you must select the Serial service
where you will be prompted to enter a passkey. The passkey is 1000. You will also need to assign a COM Port
for this connection. When pairing the Pocket Spectrum with your computer, follow the Bluetooth Pairing
instructions that came with your computer or particular USB Bluetooth Adaptor.
