SCANTEAM 2000 DECODER

TECHNICAL MANUAL INTRODUCTION

The SCANTEAM 2000 Series Decoders are used in both the retail and the

commercial environments. The retail environment includes point–of–sale

uses, while the commercial environments include industrial type

applications (e.g., time and attendance information gathering).

Both the retail and the commercial applications of the SCANTEAM 2000

Series Decoders are described in this technical manual. If information

applies only to the retail product, the heading indicates it is R(etail)

information only. If information applies to the commercial product, the

heading indicates it is C(ommercial) information only.

Appendix C is exclusively Retail information, and Appendix D is

exclusively Commercial information.

This technical manual is an extension of the SCANTEAM 2000

Programming Menu. The Programming Menu contains information and

bar codes that you will use to set up your system to meet your needs. This

manual provides you with additional, in–depth information about the

options in the Programming Menu.

Chapter 1 provides a description of the 2000 Series decoder features,

including serial wedge capabilities, Flash E Prom downloading, and

cloning.

Chapter 2 is a description of the system’s hardware, including connectors,

ports, and power requirements.

Chapter 3 explains how to set up and install your decoder.

Chapter 4 explains how to program your decoder to meet your specific

needs. Refer to Chapter 4 for detailed information when you are using the

2000 Programming Menu.

Chapter 5 explains how to obtain service and technical assistance.

1.1 Introduction

The SCANTEAM 2000 Series Decoder is a convenient and cost effective

means of adding bar code, mag stripe, and RS–232D data entry capabilities

to point–of–sale terminals, CRT terminals, and personal computers.

The SCANTEAM 2000 Series decoder is a menu programmable bar code

and magnetic stripe reader designed to connect to the terminals listed in

Table 1.1.

Note: These terminal interfaces reflect the current level of firmware. New

interfaces may be added to those listed in Table 1. Contact Customer

Service for an updated list.

1.2 System Hardware Overview (2000/R and 2000/C)

The basic SCANTEAM 2000 system includes connectors that are

compatible with a bar code scanner, a magnetic stripe reader, RS–232D

Aux port, and terminal and PC interface cables. All SCANTEAM 2000

decoder and keyboard interface hardware is mounted on a single, printed

circuit board. The electronics is housed in a rugged, plastic cabinet that

can be securely attached to the terminal.

1.2.1 Connection Options

The SCANTEAM 2000 Series has two connection schemes that can be

selected depending upon the requirements of the bar code application. In

the first connection scheme, illustrated in Figure 1.1, the decoder is used as

a keyboard wedge.

SCANTEAM 2000 Hardware/Software Overview

In this configuration the SCANTEAM 2000 provides a transparent

interface between the keyboard and the keyboard input port of the terminal

or PC. Output data format from the decoder unit is programmed using a

bar code programming menu. When installed, bar code symbols decoded

by the SCANTEAM 2000 are translated to corresponding keyboard

keycodes and sent to the keyboard input port of the terminal or PC. Thus,

bar code data appears as if it had been keyed in at the keyboard.

Figure 1.2 illustrates the second connection scheme. The SCANTEAM

2000 is configured for direct connection.

With the addition of optional field installable IC’s, the SCANTEAM 2000

supports IBM 4683 Port 17/5B/9B and RS–232 (“serial wedge”)

input/output capability.
