Scanner Connections to the Host To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950. To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host. 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Connect the 25-pin D-type connector on the scanner’s head cable to the communication cable. Connect the other end of the communication cable to the host device.
Configuration of the Scanner to the Host System The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed to a set of default conditions noted in the Default Settings section of this guide and in the ScanSelect™ Scanner Programming Guide. The default settings in the ScanSelect guide have an asterisk that appears before the brief definition next to the bar code. To communicate with the host system properly, it needs to be programmed to meet specific scanning needs.
Cloning Feature To program several scanners with the same settings, use the Cloning feature. This is done by connecting the cloning cable (MLPN: #51544) between two scanners. 1. Turn off both scanners. 2. Connect the cloning cable between the two scanners. 3. Turn both scanners on by plugging in the transformers. 4. Once each scanner is ready, scan the cloning bar code with the scanner that has the settings that need to be transferred to the other scanner.
Version 11 IBM 46XX Scanner Output Format: IBM RS-485 serial input/output for the 4680 and 4690 (46XX) point-of-sale terminals The Version 11 46XX interface can be used in several different ways. Both the 46XX terminal and the scanner must be configured to match each other. Warning: Power to the scanner and 46XX terminal should be turned off before making physical connection. The 4680 and 4690 series terminals have different types of physical ports for connecting bar code scanners.
Configuring the MS860i-11 Scanner Located in the Version 11 scanner are two computer boards. One computer board is for decoding and the other for 46XX IO processing. The decode board is configured using ScanSet™ or ScanSelect™ while the IO board is configured with an internal DIP Switch bank.
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 your type of equipment. IBM 4683 and 4693 Terminals Driven by a 46XX Store Controller Running 4680.OS or 4690.OS Access the terminal configuration menu on the store controller. If not already selected, select an IBM 1520 laser hand scanner (4680.
Version 17 Keyboard Wedge Scanner The MS860i scanner (version 17) provides keyboard emulation by converting the scanned bar code data to the PC keyboard scan code equivalent.
Connection of a MS860i-17 Scanner to a PC To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950. 1. Attach the adaptor to the communication cable if needed. 2. If the PC is on, exit your application and turn the PC off. 3. Disconnect the keyboard from the PC. Plug the communication cable to the PC and the keyboard.
Installing the Scanner into a Counter Metrologic has designed three plates to accommodate in-counter installation of the scanner. Included automatically with the purchase of the scanner is Metrologic part #45471, Installation Plate. The universal and replacement plates are available at an extra charge. Contact the distributor, dealer or Metrologic to order one of these plates. Metrologic Part Number 45471, Installation Plate: This plate is designed for use in counters with no previous cut outs.
Attaching the Vertical Stand to the Work Surface With the Metrologic stand (Part #45472), there is a choice of four directions the scanner can be positioned for the scanner for greater flexibility. Figure 2 illustrates one direction that can be chosen. The stand requires a mounting space of 91.44mmL x 165.1mmW (3.6" x 6.5") to stabilize the stand. Since the arrow of the scanner in Figure 3 is pointing to the right, items must be presented to the scanner from left to right. Figure 2 1.
MS860i Features Becoming familiar with the features of the MS860i will help when operating the scanner. The following illustration and list explain the pertinent parts. Figure 5 1 Touch Plate When a specified time has elapsed without any scanning, the unit will enter a “standby” mode. Touching the touch plate arrow on the top cover will reactivate the scanner. 2 Green and Red LEDs When the green LED is on, this indicates the unit is receiving power and the laser is on.
Touch Plate The scanner will enter “standby” when it remains dormant for a time. When the scanner’s computer is on “standby," touching the touch plate will “wake up” the scanner and activate the laser. When the green LED comes on, the scanner is powering up for full operation. After approximately three seconds, the scanner will be ready to operate. The default touch plate timeout is ten minutes.
Piastra sensore Se lo scanner è rimasto disattivato per un determinato periodo esso passa in modalità 'stand-by'. Quando il calcolatore dello scanner si trova in modalità 'stand-by', occorre toccare la piastra sensore per "svegliare" lo scanner ed attivare il laser. L’accensione del diodo luminoso verde indica che lo scanner si accende per diventare completamente pronto. Dopo circa tre secondi lo scanner ha raggiunto la condizione "pronto". Il timeout standard della zona sensore è regolato su dieci minuti.
Visual Indicators There is a red and green LED at the top of the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the scan and scanner. Steady Green When the laser is on, the green LED is also on. This occurs when the touch plate has been touched. The green LED will remain on until the touch plate timeout elapses or until the scanner turns off.
Signaux optiques Sur la partie supérieure du scanner se trouvent une diode LED rouge et une diode LED verte. Quand le scanner est sous tension, les diodes rouge et verte clignotantes ou allumées vous informent sur l'état du scanner. Ni la diode rouge, ni la diode verte n'est allumée Il existe deux raisons possibles pour que les diodes ne s'allument pas.
Optische Anzeigen Auf dem Scanner befinden sich eine rote und eine grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige. Bei eingeschaltetem Scanner geben Ihnen die blinkenden oder feststehenden Leuchtdiodenanzeigen Aufschluß über den Abtast- und Scannerstatus. Weder rote noch grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige Es gibt zwei mögliche Gründe, weshalb die Leuchtdiodenanzeigen nicht aufleuchten.
Segnali ottici Sullo scanner si trovano due diodi luminosi: uno rosso e uno verde. Quando lo scanner è inserito, i diodi luminosi, che possono o essere accesi in continuazione o lampeggiare, Vi informano sullo stato della scansione e dell’apparecchio. Né il diodo luminoso rosso né quello verde sono accesi Vi sono due possibili cause se i diodi luminosi non sono accesi.
Volume Settings There are four volume settings available: low, medium, high and no volume. The operator can temporarily change the volume of the scanner by scanning the bar codes on the volume control card. To change the volume of the scanner permanently, enter program mode and scan the appropriate volume setting bar code in Section C of the ScanSelect Programming Guide or use ScanSet. Note: A copy of the volume control card is at the end of this guide.
Labels There is one label located inside the window of the scanner noting that the device is a CDRH Class IIa laser product and IEC 825 LASERKLASSE 1. Also, on each scanner is a label located on the back of the unit. This label contains information such as the model number, date of manufacture, and serial number.
Depth of Field Through the glass at the front of the scanner, safe, low powered laser beams are projected in a complex pattern that resembles a spider web. Each of the five scan fields that generate the scan pattern extends to a range of 127mm (5.0"). This range begins from the face of the scanner window and extends from the unit for a distance of 127mm (5.0") measured along the scanning beam at the center of each scan segment. This 0.
