INTRODUCTION TO THE SCANTEAM 6980  
Introduction  
The SCANTEAMR 6980 products are decoded output Magnetic  
Stripe card Readers (MSRs) which attach to Personal Computers  
(PC) and other devices containing serial RSĆ232 interface ports.  
All magnetic stripe decoding and serial RSĆ232 interface  
electronics are contained in the compact SCANTEAM 6980  
product enclosure.  
The SCANTEAM 6980 is a biĆdirectional card reader, that is, it  
can read cards swiped in either direction through the card  
reader. The beeper and the LED included in the SCANTEAM  
6980 indicate a good read or bad read to the operator. Versions  
are available which allow decoding single, dual, and triple track  
magnetic stripe cards.

Applications  
The SCANTEAM 6980 offers a fast, easy, and accurate method of  
entering data contained on a magnetic stripe into a PC system.  
Retail POS credit and debit account number entry, bank teller  
automation, membership ID verification, access control,  
workĆinĆprocess data entry, labor and job tracking, and tool and  
equipment sign out are just a few of the possible applications for  
the SCANTEAM 6980.

When included, the power pack is a wall mount device with 110 vac  
primary, and a regulated +5 VDC secondary output.  
Connector contains a moldedĆin power jack.  
Power must be supplied on pin 9 of the DBĆ9 connector.  
SCANTEAM 6980 User’s Guide

Installation  
All versions of the SCANTEAM 6980 depend on an external  
source of +5 VDC power to operate. Since most RSĆ232  
interface ports don't provide a power source, an external + 5  
VDC power supply must be plugged into the molded receptacle  
in the SCANTEAM 6980's interface connector for all versions,  
except the 6980-5 [.  
The SCANTEAM 6980 is easily installed into a PC system in the  
following steps:  
1) Turn the system power off.  
2) Connect the MSR cable to the PC's 9 pin D male RSĆ232  
port.  
3) Connect the 5 VDC adaptor cable to the MSR and then plug  
the 5 VDC adaptor into a 120 vac receptacle.  
4) The MSR can be mounted to the wall, the side of a PC, a  
keyboard, or simply to a counter with the hook and loop  
fastener strips included with the product. Alternatively, the  
screws holding the bottom plastic case on the MSR may be  
replaced with longer screws for mounting purposes.  
5) Turn the system power on.  
6) Configure your host device to accept RSĆ232 data on its  
RSĆ232 port.  
7) Test the SCANTEAM 6980's host interface configuration by  
passing a magnetic stripe card through the SCANTEAM  
6980. The magnetic stripe data should appear on your PC  
screen. If the data does not appear on the screen, you may  
have to modify the output data configuration of the  
SCANTEAM 6980 (see page 6, Configuration Options).  
[
The SCANTEAM 6980–5 will only operate when the host device supplies  
power on pin 9 of its DB-9 RS-232 interface port.

Configuration Options: Dip Switch Controlled  
The SCANTEAM 6980 contains a Dual InĆLine Package (DIP)  
switch pack which is used to configure the operation of the  
reader. The position of these switches are preĆset by Welch Allyn  
and normally do not need to be changed by the user, unless the  
host device's RSĆ232 communication parameters do not match  
the SCANTEAM 6980's default settings (see page 8).  
The DIP switches on the SCANTEAM 6980 control the following  
host interface parameters:  
“SS” and “ES” characters  
This parameter allows the SS" and ES" characters encoded  
on the magnetic stripe to be transmitted or not transmitted to  
the host PC.  
RS-232 Data Bit and Parity Selection  
This parameter allows you to change the MSR's serial RSĆ232  
output parameters for character data bit count and parity.  
The following selections are available:  
8 data bits and no parity,  
7 data bits and even parity, or  
7 data bits and odd parity.  
RS-232 Baud Rate Selection  
This parameter allows you to change the MSR's serial RSĆ232  
output parameters for baud rate. The following selections are  
available:  
1200 bps (bits per second),  
2400 bps,  
9600 bps, or  
19200 bps.  
Check Sum Selection  
This parameter allows transmission of a checksum character  
(or no check sum) after the track data sent by the MSR.  
In order to access the DIP switch pack, the DIP switch cover  
must be removed, exposing the switches.

Configuration Options: Program Mode Download Controlled  
The SCANTEAM 6980 Magnetic Stripe Reader has two  
operating modes: Normal Operation and Programming.  
In Normal Operation mode, everything typed on a connected  
keyboard is passed to the host PC directly. A program utility is  
required for Programming mode. The utility will monitor the  
keys pressed and program the MSR via the RSĆ232 port. The  
green LED will flash and the MSR will beep as each command  
key is typed during programming.  
SCANTEAM 6980 User’s Guide

In Programming mode, the following parameters are  
programmable:  
communication parameters  
beeper enable/disable  
MSR track decode selection  
Note:  
To set options in the “Programming” mode all commands MUST BE  
typed in with an AT type keyboard.  
Enabling or Disabling Track Configurations and / or Beeper  
1. Turn off power to the SCANTEAM 6980. (If a PC provides  
power to the MSR, then turn the PC off.)  
2. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to OFF.  
3. Turn on power to the MSR.  
4. Run the software utility by typing the executable file name  
at the command line. The executable file is that shown on  
the SCANTEAM 6980 Programming Utility disk received  
with the MSR.  
Example: A:\MENU100A.EXE  
The disk is in drive A and the executable file name shown on  
the disk is MENU100A.EXE."  
5. Follow the setup instructions on the disk:  
Select the COM port, baud rate, number of data bits and  
parity. Communication parameters selected must match  
those set by the switch selections of the MSR being  
programmed.  
Select the track enable/disable configuration you need.  
Enable or disable the beeper.  
6. Turn off power to the MSR.  
7. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to ON.  
8. Reapply power to the MSR.  
Note:  
Triple track enable/disable options are not available with a two track  
MSR.
