Usersare unable to read card using HID Omnikey 3121 desktop reader. Upon investigation, it is discovered that the wrong driver is installed on the PC, and therefore the HID Omnikey 3121 reader is not correctly recognized by the PC.

Step 2: The Update Driver Software - Omnikey 3x21 window will then be shown. Click Browse my computer for driver software.

Step 3: The following window will then be shown. Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer and click Next.

Step 7: Repeat the process (Steps 1 to 6) if the HID Omnikey 3121 is still unable to read the MyKad. Note that there are many different drivers for different operating systems, and therefore trial and error is required to identify the correct driver for the respective PC specification.


after having issues with a smartcard reader (HID Omnikey 3121) not being recognised as such after I tried installing drivers for it, I went ahead and uninstalled System/DriverKit/System/Library/Frameworks/HIDDriverKit.frameworks. I did have to disable System Integrity Protection to do so.


I think this reflects poorly on the manufacturer of this card... these things are commodities these days, and they should just work. I have used a few smart card readers - that cost about a third of this one - and I have never had one fail to work right away.


I am well aware of the risks that come with tampering with System files, but there was no other solution to my problem as I need my card reader to work for my job. Technical support of the reader company was useless, so I had to find a way myself.


It's hard to believe that you can't prompt the system to repair itself in some way without reinstalling the whole system, hence my question here. If anybody has information on that, I would greatly appreciate it :)


Recommendation: We highly recommend that most Windows users (unless you are advanced) download a driver update tool like DriverDoc [Download DriverDoc - Product by Solvusoft] to help update your HID Global USB Smart Card Reader drivers. DriverDoc automatically downloads and updates your Omnikey 3121 driver, ensuring you are installing the correct version for your operating system.


The right Omnikey 3121 driver can be difficult to locate on the manufacturer's website. Even if you have the expertise, finding, downloading, and updating Omnikey 3121 drivers can still be a tedious and messy process. An improper driver download can lead to issues with software and harm the functionality of the computer.


There is a lot of work involved in updating device drivers, so we strongly suggest downloading and installing a driver update utility. A driver update tool provides you with new driver versions for your hardware, and can also save a backup of current drivers before making any changes. You are assured that you can rollback to the earlier edition if you encounter some trouble with your driver.


The CardMan smart card read/write (SCR) modules integrated in our keyboards basically support the PC/SC interface of Microsoft operating systems. Below you will find instructions and notes to install the drivers and additional software.


In the following chapters we want to give some basic steps for installing the drivers. Please refer to the original readme files included in these packages for detailled instructions and latest information.


Upon the PC/SC layer optional software interfaces can be installed in addition, such as the CT-API interface or the SynchronousAPI. But this depends on your application and on the card type you're using. You might have to install several driver layers to get the whole thing running. Basically start with the PC/SC layer and then refer to your application's documentation, if for example CT-API or Synchronous API has to be installed in addition to that.


The CT API is a software interface which simplifies the communication with smartcards.In the directory of this setup program you can find a Windows help file which containsdetailed information about this CT-API. Currently it is only available in English.


Please note:

Unfortunately there is no more direct link to the CT-API package on theOmnikey driver page for the Cardman models 3e10/3e20.Just use the CT-API link of some other models, for example those of CardMan 3121.


The SynchronousAPI add-on is helpful if you want to use synchronous smart cards (memory cards).PC/SC basically does not provide this features as it only handles asynchronous cards.All the necessary information about the usage will be found in the online help "cmsync.hlp" included in the driver package.


Please note:

Unfortunately there is no more direct link to Synchronous API package on theOmnikey driver page for the Cardman models 3e10/3e20 .Just use the Synchronous API link of some other models, for example those of CardMan 3121.


For latest drivers, the diagnostic tool is no longer integrated in the PC/SC driver. It can now be downloaded and installed separately. When inserting a smart card the Diagnostic Tool displays information about this card (ATR, protocol and the corresponding card type). In addition some basic information about the CardMan device are also displayed. This Tool can be used for a functional tests of proper installation of the PC/SC driver and the CardMan hardware itself.


Extensive information how to use the synchronous API will be installed in subdirectories on c:\Omnikey\

The online help describes the functions of this API: c:\Omnikey\hlp\cmsync.hlp

The samples you will find in the subdirectories of "c:\Omnikey\Samples" - for example start with ReadMemory -or- VBSample.


If you have any problems during installation or operation of your keyboard and the modules, we of course like to help you.

Please include the complete content of the product label under your keyboard and also some information about operating system, etc. in your support request email to sup...@prehkeytec.de
