  • Page 4: Introduction

    For close scanning, the MS700i and MS715i’s depth of field of 0.0mm - 178mm (0" - 7") is ideal. To accommodate applications where scanning items farther away from the scan window is preferred, the MS720i’s depth of field of 178mm - 381mm (7"...

    ScanSelect guide have an asterisk that appears before the brief definition next to the bar code. For the scanner to properly communicate with the host system, it needs to be programmed to meet the specific scanning needs. Since each host system is unique, configure the scanner to match the host system requirements.

    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.
  • Page 9: Version 11 Ibm 46Xx Scanner

    The IBM 1520 mode/address was selected as a default because it was the first IBM 46XX family scanner to support UPC/EAN, Code 39 and Interleaved 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.
  • Page 10: Configuring The Scanner

    Configuring the Scanner Located in the Version 11 scanner are two computer boards. One 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.
  • Page 11: Configuring The Ibm 46Xx

    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 While IBM has withdrawn this product, it was not clear how terminal configuration and device driver support would be provided for the installed base of users.
  • Page 12: Scanner Installation To A Pc Keyboard Port

    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.
  • Page 13 4. Plug the communication cable to the PC and the keyboard. (Refer to Figure 1). 5. Connect the 25-pin D-type connector on the scanner’s head cable to the communication cable. 6. Check the AC input requirements of the transformer to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet.
  • Page 14: Pc Application Note

    Note: Once the scanner connects to the PC, the PC can be turned on and will operate normally even if the scanner's transformer plug is not in. How- ever, bar codes will not be read until the scanner receives power. When the scanner first receives power, the LEDs will flash and then the scanner will beep once.
  • Page 15: Installation Of The Ms700 Series Stand

    Installation of the MS700 Series Stand The following are components used to build the MS700 Series stand (MLPN: 45483): Figure 2 Shoe Mount Four Wood Screws Stand Cover One Machine (¼-20) Screw Stand Base Internal Lock Washer Flexible Shaft 1. Use the 2½ inch x 2½ inch stand base to mark the position for pilot holes.
  • Page 16: Attaching The Scanner To The Stand

    Once the stand is securely mounted to the work surface, attach the scanner. The scanner has a “foot” that is at the bottom of the scanner. This foot fits into the “shoe” attached to the top of the stand. This construction helps prevent the scanner from being knocked from the stand.

    MS700i and MS720i Series Features Figure 4 Speaker The sound of a beep emits from here when the scanner performs a good read of a bar code. Green and Red LEDs When the green LED is on, this indicates that the unit is receiving power and the laser is on.
  • Page 18: Visual Indicators

    When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash followed by one beep. If you do not see the red LED flash or the scanner beep once, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

  • Page 22: Volume Settings

    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 permanently change the volume of the scanner, enter program mode and scan the appropriate volume setting bar code in Section C of the ScanSelect Programming Guide or use ScanSet.

  • Page 24: Infrared (Ir) Object Sensor

    An infrared (IR) device located below the LEDs and above the scanner output window (refer to the section, MS700i and MS720i Features page 14) initiates the scanning process. As long as power is applied to the unit, the IR sensor projects a signal that extends approximately seven (7) inches beyond the output window.
