Installation The MS350 Wireless Imager is easy to install and use. Please see the following figure showing the steps to perform the installation. * Note: Turn off the host computer before installation. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Connect the interface (I/F) cable to the cradle. Connect the power cord to the cradle. Route the I/F cable and power cord through the notch. Connect the I/F cable to the host computer communication port. Connect the AC adapter to the wall outlet.
How To Scan 1. The imager must be pointed at slight angle to the barcode so that the light reflected off the barcode can be seen by the imager. Do not hold the imager perpendicular to the barcode. 2. The scan line must cross the entire barcode. The imager can not read the barcode data without seeing the entire barcode.
Troubleshooting If the imager can not operate properly, the following checks should be performed: 1. The cradle uses an external power supply and the external power supply has failed, the imager will not operate. Change the power supply with a known good power supply and reset the imager. 2. Verify the interface cable is securely connected to the host computer. Consult your technical support personnel or refer to your host system manual to verify the proper connection for the imager.
3. Verify the interface cable is securely connected to the cradle. 4. Check that the barcodes are of sufficient quality to be recognized by the imager. Wrinkled, smudged, or torn labels will cause the imager to not read at all. Scan a known good label to check the imager’s read operation. 5. Ensure that the cradle’s interface type is compatible with the host computer by consulting your host system manual.
Wireless Connection Linking the imager with the cradle Follow these instructions to link the two devices: 1. Connect power to the cradle. The radio LED (marked with a light symbol) will blink amber and the cradle will beep. 2. To ensure the cradle is unlinked from any other imager, check if the cradle send inquiry beep or not (see Inquiry Beep Control in page 18). 3. Read the link label on the bottom of the cradle with the imager. The imager will sound a good read beep and the LED will flash amber. 4.
Unlinking There are three ways to unlink an imager from a cradle: *$%-$ZZ%%* Force imager to disconnect and sleep 1. Scan the “Force imager to disconnect and sleep” barcode – Reading the unlink barcode above while the imager is in range of the cradle will break the link between the two devices and allow another imager to link to the cradle. It will also have the imager in Deep Sleep Mode .
4. Push the “Reset” button on the bottom of cradle – If the cradle is linked with an imager and in range, pushing the “Reset” button (for about 2 seconds) on the bottom of cradle will drop the link between the devices. If the button is pushed while the imager is out of range, the cradle will unlink and make itself available to other imagers. The scanner will not drop its link with the cradle automatically, but can be linked to any other cradle by reading its link label.
Battery Charging The imager contains a 1000mAh Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. A full charged battery will provide up to 15,000 scans over a 12 hours period. Actual charge life on the imager will depend on the configuration of how the imager is configured via the programmable feature in this manual; in particular, Deep Sleep Mode settings can impact battery life. When the imager is placed in the cradle, the battery will automatically charge.
How to Change the Battery In case the contained battery inside the imager needs to be replaced, please follow the procedures below: 1. Loosen the screw at the bottom of the imager. 2. Take off the battery cover out of the imager. 3. Disconnect the battery cable connector from the main board. 4. Remove the used battery from the battery container. 5. Use a new battery pack and replace the used one.
6. Place the new battery into the battery container. 7. Connect the battery cable connector to the main board. 8. Put the battery cover back to the imager handle. 9. Fasten the screw to the imager. Note: DO NOT touch the PCBA inside the imager when replacing the battery. Improper operation may damage the imager.
Wireless Features The MS350 Wireless model includes an imager and a cradle. When the imager and cradle are linked together, the imager will read and decode barcodes and transmit them via a Wireless radio to the cradle. The cradle will then transmit the barcode data to the host computer over the host cable. The host interfaces available from the cradle are RS-232, Keyboard wedge, and USB as a normal corded imager.
Auto Update When this feature is enabled, an imager and its linked cradle can automatically ensure they stay in sync with regard to firmware and/or configuration. This is accomplished by the linked imager and cradle comparing firmware version number and configuration file check sum. If either is different, the cradle will automatically update the imager with its firmware/configuration.
? Enable firmware auto update only – Allows only firmware updating. *$%-1BA02%%* ? Disable auto update – No automatic updates will be performed.
Deep Sleep Mode The WIRELESS imager can be placed into Deep Sleep Mode after this programmed duration (since the units ’ last scanning activity). Press its trigger to wake the imager form this mode. ? Disable Deep Sleep Mode (Default) *$%-7AJ00%%* ? Duration 10 minutes - Force imager into deep sleep mode if there is no barcode read in 10 minutes. *$%-7AJ01%%* ? Duration 30 minutes - Force imager into deep sleep mode if there is no barcode read in 30 minutes.
Handcuff Mode (Leash Alarm) When enabled, the Leash Alarm will force the imager to sound an alarm for a preprogrammed length of time to notify if an imager is leaving the immediate vicinity of the cradle. This is especially useful in instances where the imager might inadvertently have been placed in a bag or cart.
Wireless Connectivity The MS350 can be linked to any Bluetooth (BT) enabled device which can accept such a connection with other devices. To implement this feature, user should set the imager to “Cradle/Dongle connection auto detection” first. And then set the PIN code to 0000 assigned to the target Bluetooth device. In this case, the PIN code of the Bluetooth enabled device should be set to 0000 to be identical with your imager. ? Cradle connection only – The imager can be used only with cradle (Default).
Wireless Connectivity (continued) User is also allowed to set any four- to six-character PIN code assigned to the target Bluetooth device using the setting procedures below: STATE CODE Cradle/Dongle connection auto detection *$%-1AB01%%* Program *$%+PRO* Begin PIN setting *#PIN* */0* */1* */2* */3* PIN no.
Inquiry Beep Control When the cradle is not linked to an imager, the Radio LED will blink amber and the cradle will beep. This beep can be disabled or reconfigured to sound for different durations by using the following programming barcodes.
? Inquiry beep every 50 seconds *$%-5AJ05%%* ? Inquiry beep every 60 seconds *$%-5AJ06%%* ? Inquiry beep every 70 seconds *$%-5AJ07%%* 19
