Chapter 1 Introduction Introducing the MS842 Series Your new scanner has been configured at the factory with default settings. Since many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements, Unitech provides a wide range of configurable features that may be selected using this barcode based configuration tool. Once the configuration is completed, the scanner stores the settings in nonvolatile memory (NOVRAM). NOVRAM saves the settings when the power is turned off.

USB Interface This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with a USB host. The digital scanner connects directly to a USB host, or a powered USB hub, which powers it. No additional power supply is required. Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the barcodes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the barcode clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.
PAGE 17
Connecting a USB Interface, Dongle Mode (for MS842P) Dongle Mode (with SCM support) In order to establish a proper connection between your computer and a scanner through a dongle, we suggest that you follow these step-by-step instructions: 1. Turn on your computer or laptop PC. 2. Insert a dongle into a USB port of the computer or laptop PC. 3. Scan the MAC address on the label by using the MS842P scanner. 4.
PAGE 18
4. When being successfully connected to the dongle, the scanner will beep shortly one time with a high tone. Connecting a USB Interface, Cradle Mode (for MS842P) Cradle Mode (without SCM support) In order to establish a proper connection between your computer and a scanner through a cradle into which a dongle is inserted, we suggest that you follow these step-by-step instructions: 1. Turn on your computer or laptop PC. 2. Plug the adapter cable into the power socket on the cradle. 3.

PAGE 20
Memory Buffer Setting The collected data can be sent back to a host computer one by one via the WPAN connection as the scanner is set to the Batch Mode, or can be stored in the flash memory of the scanner being set to the Inventory Mode. By default, the Batch Mode is enabled for use when the scanner is out of range. Upon reading a barcode successfully within range, the scanner responds with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off quickly.
PAGE 21
Bear in mind the fact that the scanner operating in the inventory mode does not send out the scanned data automatically but keeps the data in its memory buffer. If you want to make the scanner output the data it scanned before, please scan the Read Buffer barcode as shown below: Read Buffer Note: After scanning the Read Buffer barcode, the data is sent and deleted from the scanner’s memory buffer. If you do not output the barcode data, the barcode data is always kept in the memory buffer.
PAGE 22
USB Transmission Speed Parameters Use the following parameters to speed USB data transmission: USB Polling Interval - When using more current USB systems, use this parameter to set a lower interval in order to increase data transmission speed. Fast HID Keyboard - When configured as a USB HID keyboard device, use this parameter to increase the data transmission speed of printable (7-bit) ASCII characters.
PAGE 23
Fast HID Keyboard This option transmits USB HID keyboard data at a faster rate. Note: Quick Emulation overrides Fast HID. USB Country Keyboard Types - Country Codes Scan the barcode corresponding to the keyboard type. This setting applies only to the USB HID Keyboard Emulation device. Note: When changing USB country keyboard types the decoder automatically resets and issues the standard startup beep sequences. 11 Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Use the RS-232 interface to connect the digital scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port). Connecting an RS232 Interface Connect the digital scanner directly to the host computer. Note: Interface cables vary depending on configuration.
PAGE 34
RS-232 Host Types To select an RS-232 host interface, scan one of the following barcodes. 1 Scanning Standard RS-232 activates the RS-232 driver, but does not change port settings (e.g., parity, data bits, handshaking). Selecting another RS-232 host type barcode changes these settings. The CUTE host disables all parameter scanning, including Set Defaults. If you inadvertently select CUTE, scan *Enable Parameter Barcode Scanning, and then change the host selection.
PAGE 35
Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the digital scanner's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form. Note: The digital scanner does not support baud rates below 9600. 23 Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
PAGE 36
Parity A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements. Select Odd parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an odd number of 1 bits. Select Even parity to set the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an even number of 1 bits. Select None when no parity bit is required.
PAGE 37
Check Receive Errors Select whether or not to check the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above. Hardware Handshaking The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). Disable Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data as it becomes available.
PAGE 38
RTS/CTS Option 1: If you select RTS/CTS Option 1, the digital scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission completes. RTS/CTS Option 2: If you select Option 2, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the digital scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
PAGE 39
when a time-out occurs. ENQ: If you select this option, the digital scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If it does not receive an ENQ within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every Host Serial Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors. ACK/NAK with ENQ: This combines the two previous options.
PAGE 40
Host Serial Response Time-out This parameter specifies how long the digital scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error occurred. This only applies when in one of the ACK/NAK software handshaking modes, or RTS/CTS hardware handshaking mode. RTS Line State This parameter sets the idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. Scan a barcode below to select Low RTS or High RTS line state. 28 Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
PAGE 41
Beep on If you enable this parameter, the digital scanner issues a beep when it detects a character on the RS-232 serial line. indicates an illegal entry or other important event. Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay inserted between character transmissions. 29 Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Redundancy Level The decoder offers four levels of decode redundancy. Select higher redundancy levels for decreasing levels of barcode quality. As redundancy levels increase, the decoder’s aggressiveness decreases.
PAGE 79
Redundancy Level 3 Code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before being decoded.
PAGE 80
Security Level 3: If you selected Security Level 2 and misdecodes still occur, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec barcodes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the decoder. If you need this level of security, try to improve the quality of the barcodes. Intercharacter Gap Size The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small.

Macro PDF User Indications In this mode the decoder provides the following feedback.
PAGE 82
By using Passthrough All Symbols mode every user decode is transmitted to the host where the host software can provide the appropriate feedback. Transmit Macro PDF Control Header When enabled, this activates transmission of the control header, which contains the segment index and the file ID, in Macro PDF symbols. For example, the field may be: \92800000\725\120\343. The five digits after the \928 are the segment index (or block index), and \725\120\343 is the file ID.
PAGE 83
Escape Characters This enables the backslash (\) character as an Escape character for systems that can process transmissions containing special data sequences. Scan a barcode below to either format special data according to the GLI (Global Label Identifier) protocol, or to disable this parameter. This parameter only affects the data portion of a Macro PDF symbol transmission; the Macro PDF Control Header (if enabled) is always sent with GLI formatting.
