Checking for USB Support on the Host Computer

Host Configuration

To make USB work, the POS must be factory equipped with a USB
port. With the required hardware in place, Windows 98 and 95 (OS
R2.1) natively support plug-and-play USB with a built-in driver;
Windows NT does not, and the NCR Windows NT USB driver needs to
be installed.
IMPORTANT: You need LPIN D370-1111-0100 oad the appropriate
drivers for the USB printers.
Verify that the proper hardware has been installed in the host PC.
Windows 95 and 98:
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Click on System (Windows 98) or System Properties (Windows 95).
The Windows 95 operating system version should read 4.00.950 B.
If your system is not current, you'll need to upgrade to either
Windows 95 OSR2.1 or Windows 98 before proceeding.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
4. In the Device Manager window, scroll down the list of installed
hardware devices until you find an entry for "Universal serial bus
controller."
If this entry exists, your host computer is set up for USB operation. If
this entry does not appear:
You need to install Windows 95 USB supplement.

Windows NT:

To see if your POS terminal is USB-compliant, look at the back.
If it has a USB connector port, your hardware is all set.
