cking for USB Support on the Host Computer
If the USB interface communications is required, the host computer must be equipped and setup
properly. If it is not, you need to install a USB interface card. With the required hardware in place,
Windows 98 (SR 2), Windows 98 USB Hot Patch, ID: Q236934, NT 4.0 (Service Pack 3 or higher) and
Windows 2000 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 to have internet access to download the USB drivers from the NCR Web
site://www.NCR.com
Configuration
Verify that the proper hardware has been installed in the host terminal.
Windows 98:
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Click on System (Windows 98).
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:
•
Consult your computer documentation to see if USB must be enabled in the BIOS setup.
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.
Note: Even though the host may have a USB port, Windows NT does not natively support plug-and-
play USB because it does not have a built-in driver. You will need to load the NCR Windows NT USB
driver (see "Installing the USB Printer Drivers").
Windows 2000:
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Click on System.
3. Click on Hardware.
4. Click the Device Manager tab.

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:
