Installing WKU ID Card Swiper Software

Issue/Question

How do I install the software for a Mini DX3 card reader?

Environment

  • Windows 10
    • Mini DX3
    • Mini Serial SoftTools

Resolution

WKU ITS does not support card swipers. If you have issues with an older Mini 600 ID Card Swiper we recommend purchasing a newer Mini DX3 ID Card Swiper. For additional support, please contact the device manufacturer here.
  1. Go to the following folder on the Shared Drive: S:\UNIVERSITY-WIDE-SHARED\ID Card Swiper Software\Mini DX3
  2. Copy the Mini DX3 folder to your Desktop.
  3. Run the setup.exe file in the Mini DX3 folder.
    Note: It may be necessary to right-click the file and select Run as Administrator if the installation fails the first time. 
  4. Mini Serial SoftTools should now be installed.
