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. Setting Keystroke Speed to 80 Characters per Second 1. Turn off power to the host PC. 2. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to OFF. 3. Turn on power to the host PC. 4. Type the following keys: US8. 5. Turn off power to the host PC. 6. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to ON. 7. Set MSR DIP switch position 6 to ON. 8. Reapply power to the host PC. SCANTEAM 6920 User’s Guide 9 Setting Keystroke Speed to 25, 40, or 60 Characters per Second Use the same procedure as “setting keystroke speed to 80 c/s” to set the characters per second to 25, 40, or 60. The keystrokes (at step 4) are: US2 for 25 C/S or US4 for 40 C/S or US6 for 60 C/S. Setting Keyboard Type to XT 1. Turn off power to the host PC. 2. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to OFF. 3. Turn on power to the host PC. 4. Type the following keys: UKX 5. Turn off power to the host PC. 6. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to ON. 7. Set MSR DIP switch position 2 to ON. Note: Step 8 is required for XT keyboard type command (“UKX”) only! 8. Set MSR DIP switch position 1 to ON. 9. Reapply power to the host PC. Setting Keyboard Type to PS/2 models 25/30/70 or AT-PS/2 Use the same procedure (above) to change from AT-PS/2 to PS/2 models 25/30/70 type keyboards,,or from XT to AT-PS/2. The keystrokes (at step 4) are: UKP to change to PS/2 models 25/30/70 or UKA to change to AT-PS/2. 10 SCANTEAM 6920 User’s Guide Setting and Activating a Transmit Control Character Some applications may require data from the MSR not be transmitted automatically after each card swipe. Use this programming feature to set a keyboard character that, when pressed, will transmit MSR data to the host PC. 1. Turn off power to the host PC. 2. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to OFF. 3. Turn on power to the host PC. 4. Type the following keys: UAEx - where “x” is: any lower case letter (a to z), any number (0 to 9), any Function key (F1 through F12), or the ESC, SPACE, [, ], or TAB keys. 5. Turn off power to the host PC. 6. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to ON. 7. Reapply power to the host PC. Deactivating and Eliminating a Transmit Control Character Use the same procedure (above) to deactivate and eliminate a transmit control character. The keystrokes (at step 4) are: UAD SCANTEAM 6920 User’s Guide 11 Setting a Prefix (preamble) Character 1. Turn off power to the host PC. 2. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to OFF. 3. Turn on power to the host PC. 4. Type the following keys: UBExxxxx; - where “x” is: any lower case letter (a to z), any number (0 to 9), any Function key (F1 through F12), or the ESC, SPACE, CR, [, ], or TAB keys. Note: .“;“ must be typed after the prefix characters are entered. Up to five prefix characters may be assigned. 5. Turn off power to the host PC. 6. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to ON. 7. Reapply power to the host PC. Setting a Suffix (postamble) Character Use the same procedure as “setting a prefix” to activate and set a suffix (postamble). The keystrokes (at step 4) are: UEExxxxx; Setting the Position of a Prefix (preamble) or a Suffix (postamble) in data Use the same procedure as “setting a prefix” to set the position of a prefix (preamble) or suffix (postamble) in the data sent to the host PC. The keystrokes (at step 4) are: UPE to send the prefix before and the suffix after each track UPD to send the prefix before and the suffix after all tracks. Deactivating and Eliminating a Prefix (preamble) or a Suffix (postamble) Use the same procedure as “setting a prefix” to deactivate and eliminate a prefix (preamble) or suffix (postamble). The keystrokes (at step 4) are: UBD to disable the prefix (preamble) or UED to disable the suffix (postamble). 12 SCANTEAM 6920 User’s Guide Enabling or Disabling Track Configurations 1. Turn off power to the host PC. 2. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to OFF. 3. Turn on power to the host PC. 4. Type the following keys: UTx — where “x” is the number 1 through 7. The number controls the following: 1 = enable track 1, 2 = enable track 2, 3 = enable track 3, 4 = enabl...
