1. Plug PowerScan in PCMCIA slot
2. Click "System" on Control Panel, select "System Properties"

• Select "Device Manager"
• Double click Ports (COM&LPT). You will find that another Communication Port has been added, say COM3. (Please write down this port on a paper)

• Select "Port Setting", and write down the settings:

Baud Rate	9600
Data Bits	8
Stop Bits	1

3. Click "Hyper Terminal" in Accessories/programs
4. Double click "Hypertrm" icon to open "New Connection - Hyper Terminal" screen

• On "Connection Description" screen, key in Name, such as "PowerScan"
• Click "OK" and pull up "Com3 Properties" Screen
• Set Port Parameters as you wrote down above:

Baud Rate	9600
Data Bits	8
Stop Bits	1
Parity	None
Flow Control	Xon/Xoff

• Click "OK", return to "PowerScan - Hyper Terminal"

Now the setting is ready. You may scan a bar code, and it should be displayed on screen.

Running "PowerScan" after initial setup

1. Plug PowerScan in a PCMCIA Slot. You should hear a beep sound, which means the connection is OK.
2. Open "PowerScan" in "Hyper Terminal".
3. Scan bar codes.

If the computer never has been installed before:

1. Plug in the PowerScan card. The Windows 95 will prompt for New Hardware found.
2. Choose "Select from a list of alternate drivers" in New Hardware Found pop up. Click OK.
3. IN Select Hardware Type, choose Ports (COM & LPT), click OK.
4. Choose (Standard port types) and Communication Ports. Click OK.

The PowerScan card will be considered as the new COM port as it plugged in.

Remove previously installed PowerScan Hardware definition:

1. In Control Panel, double click the System Property
2. Find the device being assigned to PowerScan (either as a COM port, or as a Modem if it was set up incorrectly before)
3. Make sure the PowerScan card is recognized as the device in (2).
4. Highlight the device, press Delete key to delete the device

If the Windows 95 is OEM Release 2 (not the 950), then you have to do one more step. Go to the Windows\INF\Other directory. Find out the .INF file which has definition of PowerScan card as a device (you have to use an editor to view the contents of the INF file and to find out the PowerScan string). Delete this file. This will ensure your next insertion of the PowerScan card will have a brand new installation.

NOTE: If using any Communication Software to obtain data from the PowerScan card after it is installed, you have to use the following setting:

• 9600, n, 8, 1 for port setting
• No flow control
• No "Init String" as defined in most of the modem devices

How to find out the property used by the PowerScan card: click the PCMCIA card icon on the lower-right corner of the display.
