7. If this is your first synchronization, follow the instructions on the host computer
screen to setup the partnership. Items to be synchronized may be customized, and
you may select to synchronize continuously as information changes, upon
connection, or manually by clicking the Sync button on the toolbar of your host
computer.
Note: Every PDT 8000 terminal should have a unique name. Never try to
synchronize more than one PDT 8000 terminal to the same user
name.
8. If you already created a partnership between your host computer and terminal,
synchronization will occur automatically, immediately following step 6.
Using Printers
When using a printer attached to the serial port on the magnetic stripe reader, certain
registry settings need to be changed allowing the printer to work correctly. Specifically:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\SymPrint\{Printer Type}\PrintPort
should be changed from “COM1: 9600” to “COM7: 9600” for any printer, for example, Zebra
Series, Monarch, Oneil and Comtec. You may also need to edit “\Platform\printers.reg” so
the settings are retained after a cold boot.
Note: The serial port cannot be used while the magnetic stripe reader
application has the COM port open, and the magnetic stripe reader
application cannot read cards while the printer driver has the COM
port open.
