Installation:

The picture below shows how to connect the reader to a computer. Follow the

procedures for installation:

keyboard port and keyboard to the reader.

3. Turn on power. One long beep from the reader indicates successful

power-up.

MS140

The default device ID of the reader is set to PC/AT. If your computer is not a

PC/AT, please do the setup on a PC/AT machine first to select a correct device

ID. The device ID “06” (Keyboardless) is for notebook computers.

Setup

The reader’s behavior can be changed through a setup routine in the reader.

Setup can only be performed on a PC/AT computer under DOS

environment. After typing “COPY CON NUL” command under DOS

prompt, there are two ways to enter setup:

•Swipe “Enter Setup” bar code label located on the cover page of this

manual.

•Or press left SHIFT and right SHIFT keys at the same time within about

20 keystrokes after computer power up.

The second method applies when the reader has device ID set to PC/AT

interface already. If you have this manual handy, the first method is preferred.

When the reader enters the setup mode, a selection menu will be displayed on

the screen like,

Use numerical keys on the top of alphabetic keys for digit input.

0-Device 1-Scanner 2-Bar Code 3-Other

4-Default 5-Dump Setting 6-Exit

Selectè

Follow the prompting and make your selections accordingly. The setup

procedure is just that easy.

Batch Setup

Having configured a reader, you may duplicate the settings of the reader

(master) to the others. You can do this by producing a set of custom setup

labels derived from the master reader and scanning these labels by other

readers. When selecting Dump command in setup mode, the settings of the

reader will dump to the screen as one or several ASCII string(s). Printing the

string(s) into bar code labels in Code 39, you get the batch setup labels to

duplicate other readers.
