USE THIS PAGE
As a general overview of the programming menu. The programming menu consists of two basic components as
shown below.
MENU PAGE FACING (Not Shown)
MENU PAGE
BAR CODE DATA CHART/MICR ENCODED PROGRAMMING CHECKS
Each menu page represents one section of the programming menu. Use individual menu pages in combination with
the bar code chart on the back page foldout, or MICR encoded programming checks, to program the check reader.
The bar codes and MICR encoded programming checks are assigned to a ROMAN NUMERAL, DIGIT, LETTER or
YES/NO symbol. These bar codes and checks correspond to the symbols in shaded areas on the menu pages and
are read in various combinations to enter programming sequences to the check reader. Bar codes and programming
checks are meaningless unless an ENTER bar code/programming check from one of the menu pages is first read.
When an ENTER bar code/programming check is read, the bar code chart/programming checks become specific to
that menu page and remain so until the EXIT bar code/programming check is read or another menu page is selected.
DEFAULT – Most menu pages have a DEFAULT bar code/MICR encoded check which allows the user to
independently default menu pages to asterisked (*) values without affecting, in any way, the rest of the programming
menu. Default values can be easily selected from the desired menu pages by reading the bar code or MICR encoded
check sequence ENTER, DEFAULT, EXIT. Individual defaults for a specific selection can be made by reading
ENTER, ROMAN NUMERAL, DEFAULT, EXIT.
ENTER – Each menu page has its own unique ENTER bar code; scan this bar code or feed through the equivalent
programming check to activate desired menu page.
EXIT – To move from one menu page to another, read the EXIT bar code or programming check. The EXIT bar code
or programming check must be read to end programming selection on each menu page before beginning to program
on a different menu page.
SELECTIONS/VARIABLES – Lists all of the options available on each menu page. Following each option are
symbols in shaded areas. These symbols correspond to both the bar codes on the adjoining bar code chart and to
the MICR encoded programming checks.
The page facing the menu is often used to supplement or clarify the material presented on the front of each menu
page. The information and examples found here are specific to the individual menu page and contain, in some cases,
charts and diagrams that must be used in order to determine the correct programming sequence.

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 (page3),andusing Plug-n-Playandsingleprogramming 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.
Regardless of the method you use to program your SCANTEAM 8300, you will need the
following items:
SCANTEAM 8300 Check Reader
Power Source (PS120/9V wall transformer if the SCANTEAM 8300 is
not powered
by the host)
Note: Please refer to page 7 for a listing of Welch Allyn part numbers for products
mentioned in these instructions.
If you are going to program your SCANTEAM 8300 using a bar code reader, you will need the
following items:
Any bar code reader (i.e., wand or laser scanner) which is terminated in a 9 pin
squeeze “D” female host connector.
If you are going to program your SCANTEAM 8300 using programming checks, you will need
one or both of the following items:
SCANTEAM 8300 PlugnPlay checks.
SCANTEAM 8300 Programming Checks.
If you are going to clone the firmware (including any programmed parameters) from one
SCANTEAM 8300 to another 8300, you will need the following items:

Programming the SCANTEAM 8300 Using a Bar Code Reader
To program the SCANTEAM 8300 using a bar code reader, the rear panel of the SCANTEAM
8300 must include an optional bar code scanner port.
Programming Example
The following is an example of using a bar code reader to program the SCANTEAM 8300 to
output a Carriage Return suffix for UPC-A symbology.
1. Turn to page 17.
To program a carriage return (for UPC-A symbology), you must scan the Output
Parameters ENTER, XI, 6, 3, 0, D, F, F, and EXIT codes.
2. Scan the Output Parameters Enter code on page 17.
Afteryouhear2beepsandtheSCANTEAM8300LEDdisplaysaP,theSCANTEAM8300
is ready to accept the variables for your output parameters.
3. Open the fold-out page in the back cover of this menu. Scan the bar codes for
XI, 6, 3, 0 (yes), then D.
Duringtheprogrammingsequence,theSCANTEAM8300willemitsinglebeeps. Ifatany
time during programming the 8300 detects an error, you will hear 3 beeps. To correct,
simply begin scanning the variable bar codes once more in proper sequence.
4. Scan the F bar code two times.
5. Scan the Exit bar code.
Two beeps from the SCANTEAM 8300 means the programming was successful, and a
carriage return suffix for UPC-A symbology has been added to the 8300 output
parameters.
Using the method just described, program the parameters necessary for your SCANTEAM
8300 using the bar code reader, beginning with page 9.

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.
Toaddmoredetailedprogramming,youmustuseabarcodereaderorthesingleprogramming
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.

Using Single Programming Checks
The single programming checks are used in conjunction with the programming pages which
followtheseinstructions. Thesingleprogrammingcheckstaketheplaceofscanningbarcodes
with a bar code reader, described on page 3.
The following is an example of programming the 8300 to output a Carriage Return suffix for
UPC-A symbology using programming checks.
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 Programming Checks. To do so, feed through the
“CMC-7 Conversion” check. The SCANTEAM 8300 temporarily
decodes E–13B characters until the End Programming check has
been read, then the SCANTEAM 8300 reverts to decoding only
CMC-7 characters.
Programming Example
1. Turn to page 11 and review the Output Parameters programming table.
NotethateveryoptionintheProgrammingMenubeginswithan“Enter”barcode. Page11
shows the Output Parameters Enter bar code. The programming check with the option
name (e.g., Output Parameters Enter) is your “Enter” code.
To program a carriage return suffix (for UPC-A symbology), you must use the OUTPUT
PARAMETERS ENTER, XI, 6, 3, 0, D, F, F, and EXIT checks.
2. Have available the programming checks for OUTPUT PARAMETERS ENTER,
XI, 6, 3, 0, D, F, Exit, and End Programming.
3. Feed the OUTPUT PARAMETERS ENTER check into the check reader.
Afteryou hear2beepsandtheLEDdisplaysaP,theSCANTEAM8300isreadytoaccept
the variables for your output parameters.
4. Feed through the XI, 6, 3, 0, and D checks.
Note: Each time a variable check is fed through, you should hear a single beep from the
reader. If an error occurs during programming, you will not get an error beep
sequence (3 beeps) until the End of Programming check has been read.
5. Feed the F check through two times.
6. Feed through the Exit check.
7. Feed through the End Programming check.
Two beeps and an Oin the LED display means the programming was successful.
If you hear 3 beeps after feeding through the End Programming check, a programming
error has occurred. Begin the programming again, starting with the Output Parameters
check.
Using the method just described, program the parameters necessary for your SCANTEAM
8300. Beginatpage9ifyouneedtoprogramtheTerminalID,oratpage10ifyouprogrammed

Cloning Instructions
The SCANTEAM 8300 check reader includes a cloning capability which provides a way to
download the memory contents from a “source” 8300 to any additional (“destination”)
SCANTEAM 8300s.
In this example, the destination SCANTEAM 8300 is connected to a terminal and the source
SCANTEAM 8300 is not connected to a power source. The source 8300 also has a bar code
reader attached.
1. Program the SCANTEAM 8300 source reader using any programming method.
2. Connect the cloning cable (part number 42204434–01) to Aux port 1 on the
source reader.
3. Plug the other end of the cloning cable into Aux port 1 on the 8300 destination
reader.
The power will be carried through the cable to power up the source SCANTEAM 8300
automatically.
4. Scan the Clone bar code below with the bar code reader attached to the source
8300.
Clone Bar Code
Note: If you prefer, you may feed the Clone Check through the 8300 source reader,
rather than scan the Clone Bar Code.
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 Clone
Check. To do so, feed through the “CMC-7 Conversion” check. The SCANTEAM
8300 temporarily decodes E–13B characters until the Clone Check has been
read, then the SCANTEAM 8300 reverts to decoding only CMC-7 characters.
The source reader displays a cand the destination reader displays an r. This indicates they
are in clone mode.
Thesource8300sends(512)64byteblocksofinformationfollowedbyablockcheckcharacter.
This takes approximately 15 seconds. If the cloning is successful, the 8300 source reader
emits a single beep and displays an O. The 8300 destination reader flashes the new software
revision, then displays an O. This indicates the software has been received and the
SCANTEAM 8300 destination reader is ready for operation.
Note: ROM and RAM tests are performed in the destination reader. If the destination
8300 fails the ROM and/or RAM tests, you will hear three beeps (five if both tests
fail).

Style A – used when you normally have the CAPS LOCK key off. The
character is sent as it is read. For example, an uppercase character is sent as
a shifted character and a lowercase character is sent as an unshifted
character.
Note for IBM PC/AT:
Style B – used when you normally have the CAPS LOCK key on. The
character is sent as the opposite of how it is read. For example, an uppercase
character is sent as an unshifted character and a lowercase character is sent
as a shifted character.
Style C – does not assume the CAPS LOCK key is in any particular state. The
software tracks and reflects if CAPS LOCK is on or off. This selection can only
be used with systems that have an LED that notes the CAPS LOCK status.
Consequently, an uppercase or lowercase character may be sent shifted or
unshifted depending upon the status of the CAPS LOCK key.

Buffer Scans: If programmed as “Yes,” the 8300 will hold data in a buffer.
This allows you to read a second check while transmitting data from the first
check to the terminal.
Driver’s License ID MSR: This selection allows the 8300 to try and decode
the MSR tracks as a AAMVA Driver’s License or a California Driver’s License.
Track 3 of a driver’s license will not decode without this parameter turned on.
Code ID Transmit: This selection allows you to send characters that identify
each symbology. (The ID characters for each symbology are shown in the
Symbology Chart on page 15.)
RS232 Delay: This selection allows the 8300 to delay up to 9999 milliseconds
between the transmission of each character of scanned data when outputting
RS232 data. The amount of delay will be based on the value programmed for
the intercharacter delay.
Track 1 Preferred: This will program the 8300 to read only track 1 of a
magnetic stripe, under normal operation. If track 1 can’t be read, the 8300 will
then read track 2. (This feature can be used only if the 8300 is programmed to
read both tracks 1 and 2. See MSR Track Selection on page 34.)
IBM 4680/4690 Dual Track MSR Tracks 1&2/ 2&3: These selections
program the 8300 to read tracks 1&2 or 2&3, according to how the 4680/4690
controller has been programmed.
Magnetic Sniffer: The sniffer detects magnetic interference which could
affect check reader operation. If magnetic interference is detected, an error
code “b” appears on the LCD display.
Ignore Error in Amount Field:
If programmed with a “Yes,” when the 8300 is
unable to read an amount field post-processed on a check, the reader will
ignore the amount field, but capture all other MICR fields. If programmed with
a “No,” the reader will reject all fields if it cannot read the amount field.
Retry Exception Table Parse Error: This selection tries to decode a check
that was in the exception table but failed to parse. It sends this check through
the standard MICR parsing algorithm.

Notes:
(1) * Designates DEFAULT selections.
(2) Scan FF to terminate a prefix or suffix.
(3) To clear a prefix or suffix of a particular symbology, scan
the symbology and FF.
(4) Default clears all prefixes and suffixes of all symbologies.
(5) To program Code ID scan the ASCII representation of
Code ID on the Symbology and Hex ASCII charts on
page 15 of this menu.

MICR ERROR/STATUS CODES
Use this option to output either a single or double character when there is a
MICR Error/Status code to report. This selection also allows you to dump out
any MICR data read on an error condition.
Hand Held Laser Timeout: This programs a timeout for a hand-held laser
compatible scanner. The scanner turns off after the trigger is depressed for 4
seconds.
Laser Redundancy: If programmed ‘’Yes,” the 8300 requires three identical
scans before data will be accepted.
If disabled, the 8300 accepts data after a
single valid scan.
When the MICR code on the check is in error and a triple beep occurs, the
error code will only be output when this selection is set to single or double
character.
Note: For Error Conditions
When the MICR code on the check is not in error but does have some other
status condition to report (i.e., serial number in range 151–300), this status
code will only be output when this selection is set to single or double character
AND the placement of the status code is set by either a prefix/suffix or data
formatter command.
Note: For Status Conditions
All MICR error/status code values can be programmed – see the MICR Data
Formatter (page 39) to do this. To place the error/status code at the beginning
or end of a MICR output string, use EC as the ASCII value when programming
in a prefix/suffix. To place the error/status code in the middle of a MICR output
string, use the EC Data Formatter Command.
Note: For Placement and programmable MICR Error/Status Codes
TRANSMISSION RATE CONTROLS
The Transmission Rate Controls can be used to speed up or slow down
transmission when the check reader is interfacing keyboard wedge with a
termial ID 03. Use these selections to control how much delay there is
between make/break sequences when wedging in keyboard data.
Interrupt Time: Use this selection to control the amount of interrupt time
between characters output.
Delay time Shift/CTRL Sequence: Use this selection to control the amount of
delay time between make/break codes when outputting a shifted or CTRL key
character.
Delay Time Normal Sequence: Use this selection to control the amount of
delay time between make/break codes when outputting a normal data key
character.
