Configuration Of The Scanner To The Host System - Metrologic MS860 Installation And User Manual

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.
To communicate with the host system properly, it needs to be programmed to
meet specific scanning needs. Since each host system is unique, configure the
scanner to match the host system requirements. Configure the scanner by entering
program mode and scanning the appropriate bar codes that appear in the
ScanSelect Scanner Programming Guide. (When using ScanSet™, refer to the
ScanSet documentation for information on how to configure the scanner.)
1. Connect the scanner to the host system. (Refer to the Scanner
Connections to the Host section in this guide)
2. Enter program mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT program mode bar
code as the first bar code after a power up cycle.
(The unit will beep three times.)
3. Scan the appropriate bar code(s) that appear in the ScanSelect Scanner
Programming Guide. (Reveal only one bar code to the scanner each time.
With your hand, cover the bar code that is not to be scanned.)
4. Exit program mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT program mode bar
code again. (The new options will be saved and the scanner is ready for
normal operation.)
Note: Non-RS-232 interfaces chosen in Section B of the ScanSelect
Programming Guide do not match the default settings that are loaded
when the same interface is selected with ScanSet.
