Scanning System Computers
When the unit is in scan mode, it automatically switches from port to port in a
sequential manner. You can modify the scan order so that specific computers
are included in a certain sequence and for a variable duration. For more
information, see “Setting a Scanning Pattern.”
To place the unit in scan mode, proceed as follows:
1. Press Print Scrn. The CCR Selection window appears.
2. Press F2 and the Advanced Menu screen appears. The highlight is in
the Commands menu.
3. Using the Up and Down arrow keys, move the highlight to Scan and
press Enter. At this point, the switch enters the scan mode and the
display returns to the status flag. You can press Esc at any time prior
to pressing Enter to cancel the operation.
4. To cancel the scan mode, press any key or move the mouse. The scan
stops at the currently connected computer.
