There are currently (as of 09/02/2016) three different card readers.

• Chipdrive® - Identive CLOUD 2900 R (Cloud 2900 R Smart Card Reader)
  (small foldable USB stick)
• Chipdrive® - Desktop pro C (SCR3310 CLOUD 2700 R)
  (Card reader with USB cable and stand to place it on the desk)
• Cherry - Model ST-1044U (Smart Terminal XX44)
  (Card reader with USB cable and stand to place it on the desk)

The GP card reader module is used to read the customer data from the chip on the health card and import it directly into the GP Manager. If the module is activated and correctly configured, a dialogue box appears next to the "Create customer" a card symbol is displayed. Click on the symbol to load the customer data from the health card.

A card reader must be connected to the computer for the module to work.

The software is part of the GP Manager and must be activated by a GeBioM employee. If you have purchased the GP Manager together with the GP card reader module, the module should already be activated.

If you have just purchased the GP card reader module, the module can be activated subsequently in a support session; the computer requires an Internet connection for this.

There is no difference in the installation of the two card readers.

• Remove the card reader from the packaging and connect it to a free USB port on your computer.
• If necessary, wait until Windows has installed the card reader. Then install the driver for the card reader.
  
• Install the driver for the card reader. You can download the driver from the GP Support homepage (see below).

Even if the card reader is installed correctly, Windows 7 issues an error message when a card is inserted into one of the card readers. A patch for the Windows registry is available to prevent these messages. The installation of the patch is not necessary, it only suppresses the message from Windows.

We recommend running the patch, otherwise Windows will issue a message every time a card is inserted into the card reader.
