Scope of the MS951 Programming Guide

This Manual contains all of the configuration codes for all versions of the MS951 hand-held bar code scanner products.

Not all hardware versions of the scanner support all of the features universally. PC Keyboard Wedge units do not use baud rates. Light Pen emulation scanners should not try to drop UPC/EAN check digits. Some features will deliver different results based upon the primary interface selected.

Emphasis will be placed on PC Keyboard Wedge and RS-232 applications. Keyboard Wedge units default to Keyboard Wedge communications. All other units default to RS-232 parameters.
