EN60950. 1. Make sure the host system is turned off. 2. Connect the head cable of the MH941 hand-held scanner to the cable terminated with a 9-pin connector attached to the fixed scanner. 3. There are two ways to connect the fixed scanner to the host device...
Since there are many different types of decoders, refer to your decoder’s documentation to connect the decoder to your host system. For a listing of the cable pin assignments for the MH941 scanner, refer to the section MH941 Scan Head Pin Assignments pages 22 and 23.
Parts of the MH941 Scanner Becoming familiar with the features of the MH941 scanner will help when operating the scanner. The following illustration and list explain the pertinent parts. Figure 2 Laser Output Window The laser beam emits from this aperture.
Audible Indicators There are audible indications that signal the status of your scanner. These indications are dependent upon the decoder being used. The function of these indications may not work as described below if using a decoder not manufactured by Metrologic.
Signaux acoustiques Il existe des signaux acoustiques qui vous informent sur l'état du scanner. Ces signaux dépendent du décodeur que vous utilisez. Il peut arriver que les fonctions de ces signaux ne correspondent pas à celles qui suivent si vous utilisez un décodeur qui n'a pas été...

Hostrechner noch vom Transformator Energie erhält. Erhält der Scanner Energie, und die Anzeigen leuchten dennoch nicht auf, so ist der Scanner für einen bestimmten Zeitraum untätig geblieben, und Laser und Motor sind abgeschaltet. Zur Reaktivierung der Einheit sollten Sie ein Objekt vor dem Infrarot-Sensor hin- und herbewegen oder den Scanner aufnehmen und das Abtastfenster nach unten richten.

Il diodo luminoso rosso è acceso; il diodo luminoso verde lampeggia Dopo la lettura riuscita di un codice a barre da parte dello scanner il diodo luminoso verde lampeggia e quindi viene emesso un unico segnale beep. Se il diodo luminoso verde non lampeggia oppure lo scanner non emette un segnale beep, ciò...
Labels The MH941 is a CDRH Class II laser system and an IEC Class I Laser System. Your unit will have a CDRH Class II caution label and an LASERKLASSE 1 label affixed below the model number. The model number label is found on the bottom of the scanner’s head.
“stand by”. To reactivate the unit, wave an object in front of the IR sensor or pick up the scanner and direct the output window downwards. The function of the scanning process in conjunction with the IR sensor is known as ScanQuest.
The depth of field for the scanner is from the face of the output window to five (5) inches (Refer to Figure 4). If the scanner is in the stand, a bar code must be presented to the scanner. When holding the scanner, position the output window within five inches of the bar code.
