Configuring the Scanner with 46XX Interface

To configure an MS951 Version “11” scanner for general autodiscriminate

applications, scan the following bar codes found in the Programming Guide

MLPN 2366:

Enter/Exit Program Mode

Recall Defaults

Enable IBM 46XX Interface (If necessary, change the emulation.)

Enter/Exit Program Mode

Disconnect and reconnect the scanner to allow the terminal device driver to

initialize for the emulation mode selected properly.

Operating Characteristics

The MS951 supports the enable/disable commands that newer 46XX device

drivers use to support scanners. If the scanner does not appear to work beyond

the good power on diagnostics' beep, check that the application is at a prompt

that expects scanner input.

For some slow application software, there are special features in the MS951

that may change the scanner operating characteristics to prevent data loss

while not significantly slowing the scanner performance.

They include:

Beep After Transmit R50 - Beep before transmission (default)

R51 - Beep after transmission

R20 - No inter record delay

R21 - 25 m/sec inter record delay (default)

R22 - 50 m/sec inter record delay

R23 - 125 m/sec inter record delay

Experiment with these options to find the combination that works best for the

application.

Configuring the IBM 46XX

The 4683 and 4693 terminals are configured on the store controller. The 4684

and 4694 terminals are typically configured on the individual terminals.

Follow the appropriate guide for the type of equipment.
