Using Plug n Play Checks
Plug-n-Play checks are the large blue checks which note the Terminal ID and programming
parameters on the check face.
A Plug -n-Play check can be used to program the Terminal ID and parameters required to
communicate with your interface if you use one of the following interfaces:
IBM PS/2
IBM PC, XT
IBM PC, AT or Compatibles
IBM 468X/9X Port 5B
IBM 468X/9X Port 17
IBM 468X/9X Port 9B
RS-232
Note: If your interface is not listed above, you must use a bar code reader or the single
programming checks to program the Terminal ID and all other parameters (see
page 3). You cannot use a Plug-n-Play check.
Note to CMC–7 users: If the SCANTEAM 8300 has been programmed to decode only
CMC–7 characters, you must first set it to decode the E–13B
characters on the Plug-n-Play Check. To do so, feed through the
“CMC-7 Conversion” check. The SCANTEAM 8300 temporarily
decodes E–13B characters until the Plug-n-Play check has been
read, then the SCANTEAM 8300 reverts to decoding only CMC-7
characters.
Note: If you are using a SCANTEAM 8300 which has already been programmed for one
interface and you wish to re-program it for a different interface, you must first
clear all existing parameters. To clear all parameters, feed through the Master
Default check. After the parameters have been cleared, you may program the
new interface using the following steps.
To add more detailed programming, you must use a bar code reader or the single programming
checks.
1. If you are programming the SCANTEAM 8300 using a Plug-n-Play check, select
the check(s) which list(s) your interface (e.g., IBM 468X/9X Port 5B).
2. Feed the Plug-n-Play check(s) into the check reader.
2 beeps followed by 2 low tone beeps means the programming was successful.
