Scanner Installation to a PC Keyboard Port

The MS700i/MS715i/MS720i/ scanner (version 17) provides keyboard
emulation by converting the scanned bar code data to the PC keyboard scan
code equivalent. The following are the supported keyboard and country types:
PC Type
! AT (includes IBM PS/2 and compatible models 50, 55, 60, 80) ®
! XT
! PS/2 (includes IBM PC and compatible models 30, 70, 8556)
Keyboard Country Type
! USA
! France
! Italy
! Belgium
The communication cable kit (MLPN: 45927) has a communication cable
with one (1) 5 Pos female DIN connector and one (1) 6 Pos male mini DIN
connector. The kit also includes an adaptor cable. This cable allows the
®
scanner to plug into an IBM PC XT or AT compatible computer or a PS/2
computer and keyboard.
With the appropriate communication cable, the scanner will also provide RS-
232 or light pen emulation interface. When configuring the scanner for one
interface versus another, change all necessary parameters for that particular
interface. For instance, to configure the scanner for keyboard wedge emulation,
recall defaults, select the PC type, keyboard country type and intercharacter
delay. For further information, refer to the ScanSelect™ Scanner Programming
Guide or ScanSet™ Scanner Configuration Guide.
