Getting Started
The SCANTEAM 8300 can be programmed using several methods. You may use a bar code
reader such as a laser scanner or a wand, or you can use MICR (Magnetic Ink Character
Recognition) encoded programming checks.
The Programming Instructions walk you through the steps for programming the SCANTEAM
8300 using bar code readers (page 3), and using Plug-n-Play and single programming checks
(beginning on page 4).
If you have multiple SCANTEAM 8300s, you can program one 8300, then download the
programming to the other 8300s. This method is called “cloning” and is described on page 6.
Note: Welch Allyn distributes firmware through our Web site at
http://dcd.welchallyn.com/techsprt/support.htm. Select the Software Download
button. When prompted, enter the user name: pumpkin and the password: pie.
New firmware may be loaded into a SCANTEAM 8300 through Welch Allyn’s
PC-based software tool called “Quick*Load
.” (SCANTEAM 8300 software
verion 3.0 and higher can only use Quick*Load version 2.50 and higher.)
Quick*Load may also be used to transfer parameters from one SCANTEAM 8300
to another. Please refer to your Quick*Load User’s Guide for complete directions
on using Quick*Load with your 8300.
