Installation
1. Before plugging in the USB smart card reader/
writer, insert the installation CD.
2. When your computer launches the installation
wizard, follow the steps on your screen to install
ChefComm.
3. Plug in the USB smart card reader. Your computer should automatically install the drivers.
NOTE: If your computer does not automatically
install the drivers, it may launch a hardware setup
wizard. Follow the steps on your screen. If the smart
card reader is not working when you begin using
ChefComm, go to your device manager and update
your smart card reader drivers, pointing your system
to the installation CD. For additional help, contact
your IT department or call 800-90TURBO (+1
214-379-6000) and request ChefComm support.
NOTE: If your installation CD is an older version,
it may not automatically launch the installation
wizard. Follow the detailed Steps 1, 2, and 3 below.
Detailed Step 1: Expand the Installation Files
If the CD does not automatically launch the
installation wizard, the setup files must be unzipped
to ensure proper installation. Launching the files
from a viewer will leave critical steps incomplete.
1. Open the contents of the CD in a file browser.
2. The installation CD contains two zipped files:
one titled “ChefComm.Setup.zip,” and another
titled “SCRx31_inst_English_V8.06.zip.” Copy
these files to a local or network drive (e.g., C:\).
3. Right-click the file for expansion options
(Figure 1) or use your preferred application.
NOTE: If no options to extract or expand are
available, you may need to install additional
software. For help, contact your IT department.
Detailed Step 2: Install ChefComm Pro
1. Expand the setup files (Step 1). A file titled
ChefComm.Setup.msi will appear in the
specified location.
2. Double-click the file ChefComm.Setup.msi to
launch the installation wizard.
3. Follow the instructions provided in the
installation wizard.
4. Once installation completes, open ChefComm
by going to Start > Programs and selecting it.
NOTE: before installing ChefComm Pro, you may
be required to install .NET Framework files. If so,
you will receive a prompt and a link to retrieve the
required files.
Detailed Step 3: Install the USB Smart Card
Reader Drivers
The drivers provided on the installation CD must
be installed for the USB smart card reader/writer to
function properly.
If you are operating Windows XP
®:
1. After expanding the file (Step 1), a folder
titled “SCR531 English” will appear in the
specified location.
2. Double-click the folder to open it.
3. Double-click the file setup.exe and follow the
instructions on your screen for installing the
USB smart card reader/writer.
4. When the setup process is complete, restart
your computer.
If you are operating Windows Vista
®, you will
probably need to configure your smart card reader
drivers from your device manager (depending on
security settings). For additional help, contact your
IT department or call 800-90TURBO (+1 214379-6000) and request ChefComm support.

Setting Up a Black Box
1. Connect the black box to your computer via
9-pin RS-232 connector cable. See Figure 2
for port location on box.
2. Set the front switch (Figure 2) to PC.
3. Open the battery compartment and verify the
read/write switch (Figure 3) is set to Oven.
4. Insert a smart card as shown in Figure 4.
NOTE: Whenever importing/exporting a menu to and
from ChefComm via RS-232 (see page 11 for more
details), press and hold the synchronization button
(Figure 2) until ChefComm confirms that the
import/export was successful.
