CONFIGURATION OF THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM

The MS860/MS863 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 provided. The default settings in the ScanSelect guide have an asterisk that appears before the brief definition next to the bar code.

Since each host system is unique, the scanner will need to be configured to match the specific host system’s requirements. If using ScanSet®, refer to the ScanSet documentation for information on how to configure the scanner.

To configure the MS860/MS863

1.Connect the scanner to the host system (refer to page 3).

2.Enter program mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT program mode bar code (the unit will beep three times).

3.Scan the appropriate bar code(s) that appear in the ScanSelect Scanner Programming Guide.

Note: Reveal only one bar code to the scanner at a 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.

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.
