Configuration Options:
Keyboard Programming Mode
The SCANTEAM 6920 Magnetic Stripe Reader has two
operating modes: Normal Operation and Keyboard
Programming.
In Normal Operation mode, everything typed on a connected
keyboard is passed to the host PC directly. In Keyboard
Programming mode, the MSR monitors the key pressed and
programs the MSR depending on the keystrokes. The green
LED will flash and the MSR will beep as each command key is
typed during programming.
In Keyboard Programming mode, the following parameters are
programmable:
•
keystroke speed
•
keyboard type
•
transmit control character
•
prefix character selection
•
suffix character selection
•
beeper enable/disable
•
MSR track enable/disable
•
return to default settings
The SCANTEAM 6920 detects the operating mode only when
power to the computer is turned on. To enter Keyboard
Programming mode, turn the host PC off, set switch 8 to the
OFF position, and then restore power to the computer.
Note:
To set options in the “Keyboard Programming” mode all commands
MUST BE typed in with an AT type keyboard.
