    The MS9540, VoyagerCG incorporates Metrologic’s patented auto-trigger and CodeGate button feature. When a bar code is place in the scanner’s IR range, the auto-trigger activates the laser enabling the user to align the visible laser line over the bar code selected for scanning. The user can then press the CodeGate button, to transmit the data to the host system.

    When the Voyager is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the beeper tone, refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide or MetroSet2’s help files.

  • Page 24: Configuration 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 25 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 configuration mode is exited.

    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 configuration mode.
