I don't know what kind of attachments you tried to add to your post, but it didn't work. And postgreSQL is a database, not an rfid reader.
We just need the product name to find the necessary reference material. You still seem to think it doesn't matter and all readers work the same. Notice: No, they don't. Only knownig what reader you have you can find out how to use it, how to address it with software or how to configure it so it acts like keyboard input.
As long as you don't know that, the easiest solution is to actually buy another model. One, of which you then know what it is exactly, one that will then be available with manual and drivers on C or anything like that. You could even pick one that by default acts as a keyboard if that's the only thing you can work with.
You can wait forever for it to explain itself to you by its beeping, and we even will be less able to help you with it.

Mandy,
Another thought on this!
Few more things to check.
Is the other application run in another computer?
Usually, Rfid reader manufactureres provide their DLL also. Please check if there is such a file in the other computer where you say the reader is working.
Copy that DLL in the application folder of your pc. Register the DLL (usually this is required). Maybe, a PC restart is required (I am not sure).
Then plug in your reader and try again.
Also, check with one of the cards which works on the another computer.
Sometimes, the reader might have been configured to read only certain frequency ranges.
So, check the card which doesn't work in your pc on the other computer to verify if it works there.
