1 Overview
HID Global’s OMNIKEY ® 5x27 CK readers open new market opportunities for system
integrators seeking simple integration and development of readers using the standard CCID
(Circuit Card Interface Device).
With the keyboard wedge functionality, users of OMNIKEY 5x27 CK readers can retrieve data
from a card that is presented to the reader and directly input the card data into an application
using keystroke emulation. This eliminates the need for customers to manually enter the card
data into an application.
This guide explains how to setup the reader to use different card types in the Keyboard
Wedge mode using the web browser interface.
In order to use the reader browser interface, the EEM-USB driver must be installed.
For installation instructions see the OMNIKEY 5x27 CK Quick Start Guide (5127-901).
Note: HID provides various Service Packs for the OMNIKEY 5x27 CK. Some functions have
been introduced with later Service Packs only, in such cases you will find these exceptions
noted in this user guide. For downloading the latest Service Pack for your OMNIKEY 5x27 CK
reader, access the Developer Center: http://www.hidglobal.com/main/developers/omnikey-
5127-ck/
Service Packs are available in the Downloads section.
Check the firmware version of the OMNIKEY 5x27 CK Reader from the General Overview
tab in the built-in web interface (see Section 1.2 Reader Web Interface, page 5).
