Welch Allyn SCANTEAM 8300, Programming Menu Manual

Page: 18 / 54

Buffer Scans: If programmed as “Yes,” the 8300 will hold data in a buffer.
This allows you to read a second check while transmitting data from the first
check to the terminal.
Driver’s License ID MSR: This selection allows the 8300 to try and decode
the MSR tracks as a AAMVA Driver’s License or a California Driver’s License.
Track 3 of a driver’s license will not decode without this parameter turned on.
Code ID Transmit: This selection allows you to send characters that identify
each symbology. (The ID characters for each symbology are shown in the
Symbology Chart on page 15.)
RS232 Delay: This selection allows the 8300 to delay up to 9999 milliseconds
between the transmission of each character of scanned data when outputting
RS232 data. The amount of delay will be based on the value programmed for
the intercharacter delay.
Track 1 Preferred: This will program the 8300 to read only track 1 of a
magnetic stripe, under normal operation. If track 1 can’t be read, the 8300 will
then read track 2. (This feature can be used only if the 8300 is programmed to
read both tracks 1 and 2. See MSR Track Selection on page 34.)
IBM 4680/4690 Dual Track MSR Tracks 1&2/ 2&3: These selections
program the 8300 to read tracks 1&2 or 2&3, according to how the 4680/4690
controller has been programmed.
Magnetic Sniffer: The sniffer detects magnetic interference which could
affect check reader operation. If magnetic interference is detected, an error
code “b” appears on the LCD display.
Ignore Error in Amount Field: If programmed with a “Yes,” when the 8300 is
unable to read an amount field post-processed on a check, the reader will
ignore the amount field, but capture all other MICR fields. If programmed with
a “No,” the reader will reject all fields if it cannot read the amount field.
Retry Exception Table Parse Error: This selection tries to decode a check
that was in the exception table but failed to parse. It sends this check through
the standard MICR parsing algorithm.
