    In addition to providing MICR character recognition, the SCANTEAM 8300 provides interface port expansion to the host device to which it is attached. The SCANTEAM 8300 allows MICR, magnetic stripe reader (MSR), bar code scanner, and up to two channels of auxiliary RS 232 data to be concentrated and attached to a single physical interface port or keyboard interface on a host device.
