Getting Started

Using the PT2000 and TopGun with PALPRO

Getting Started

Unless it has been customized, the PT2000 or TopGun has three alkaline batteries installed and is programmed for simple data collection. To begin using the portable, attach the input device (PT2000 only; refer to Attaching an Input Device to the PT2000, below) and turn it on.

Note: This chapter describes how to use the portable with its original PSC programming (PALPRO). If the portable has been customized, it may operate differently. Check with a systems administrator for revised operating instructions.

Attaching an Input Device to the PT2000

Bar Code

Scanner

Magnetic Stripe Reader

The PT2000 can be used with most industry-standard input devices equipped with a 9-pin squeeze connector.

Attach a bar code scanner by pushing its connector into the connector at the top of the PT2000. Be sure the scanner connector is firmly in place. Refer to the input device’s operating manual for instructions on its use.

To attach a compatible1 magnetic stripe reader (MSR) complete the following steps:

1.Remove the black plastic welp clip from the connector on the top of the PT2000 (refer to Figure 3-1).

2.Using a flat-blade screwdriver, remove the two screws securing the clip, and pull the clip off the connector.

3.Push the MSR’s connector into the PT2000’s connector.

Be sure the MSR connector is firmly in place.

1.Only the following MSRs can be used for this purpose:

00-000-2A (Track 1), 00-000-2B (Track 2) or 00-000-23 (Track 3).
