    Caution: 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/IEC 60950. To maintain compliance with standard CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-00/UL 60950 and EN/IEC 60950, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

  • Page 22: Visual Indicators

    The MS9544 has three LED indicators (blue, white and yellow) located on the head of the scanner. The MS9524 has two LED indicators (blue and white) located on the head of the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner.
  • Page 23 The scanner needs to have a Flash ROM upgrade if the alternating flashing of the white and blue LEDs occurs during startup and is accompanied by three beeps.

  • Page 24: Failure Modes

    This indicates the scanner has experienced motor or laser failure Three Beeps – On Power Up If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up then the non- volatile memory (NovRAM) that holds the scanner configuration has failed. If the scanner does not respond after reprogramming, return the scanner for repair to an authorized service center.

  • Page 25: Programming Modes

    String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h (All values are hexadecimal). If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an [ack]. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with a [nak].
  • Page 26 This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits settings that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively. If a command is sent to the scanner to change any of these settings, the change will NOT take effect until after serial program mode is exited.
  • Page 27 The scanner will beep three times! This example illustrates two important points. First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with a [nak] and the end-user must start over from the beginning. Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate does not take effect until after the end-user exits program mode.

  • Page 28: Upgrading The Flash Rom Firmware

    Press the button to upgrade the scanner, the unit will go into a “flash mode” – both the blue and white LEDs will be on. The user can follow the progress of the upgrade by watching the screen for details.
