(If the scanner will not receive power from a transformer, skip to Step 5.) 3. If the scanner will receive power from an external power source, check the AC input requirements of the transformer to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet.
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.
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.
IBM 46XX family scanner to support UPC/EAN, Code 39 and Interleaved 2 of 5 (I 2 of 5). The Version 11 scanner formats Codabar, Code 128, and Code 93 using the Code 39 function code designation supported by the IBM device driver for this scanner type.
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.
It should be listed under the Port 9A, 9B, 9C, or 9E sections. The 4693 terminal has a Port 5B that was originally used for the IBM 1520 scanner. While IBM has withdrawn this product, it was not clear how terminal configuration and device driver support would be provided for the installed base of users.
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. The following are the supported keyboard and country types: ! AT (includes IBM PS/2 and compatible models 50, 55, 60, 80)
Turn the PC on. Note: Once the scanner is connected to the PC, the PC can be turned on and will operate normally even if the scanner’s transformer is not plugged in. However, bar codes will not be read until power is applied to the scanner.
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.
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.
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.

Le scanner passe en mode 'Stand-by' quand il n'est pas utilisé pendant une certaine période. Si le calculateur du scanner se trouve en mode 'Stand-by', le contacte de la plaque de palpeur "réveille" le scanner et active le laser. L'allumage de la diode verte indique que le scanner se met en service en attente d'utilisation.

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.
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.

Diode verte reste allumée; diode rouge clignotante Après lecture avec succès d'un code barres par le scanner, la diode rouge se met à clignoter, suivie d'un bip sonore unique. Si la diode rouge ne clignote pas ou quand aucun bip sonore n'est émis, cela signifie que le code barres n'a pas pu être lu avec succès.

Nach erfolgreichem Lesen eines Barcodes durch den Scanner blinkt die rote Leuchtdiode auf, gefolgt von einem einmaligen Piep-Signal. Blinkt die rote Leuchtdiodenanzeige nicht auf oder sendet der Scanner kein einmaliges Piep-Signal aus, so konnte der Barcode nicht erfolgreich gelesen werden.

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.
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...
