CONFIGURATION
OVERVIEW
The MCE 300 can be customized to your specifications through switch settings and the L (Load
Configuration) command. The RS232 devices connected to the unit, the card layout, and the
features you desire enabled will determine the specific configuration for your unit. The L (Load
Configuration) command must be properly loaded to allow use of the D (Load Data), S (Encode
Cards), and R (Read Cards) commands. The configuration is not used for the M (Encode Cards -
Raw Data) and N (Read Cards - Raw Data) commands.

located on the Microprocessor PCB located inside your unit. These switch settings are set at the
