notebooks and Macintosh computers

•The MS140-2 RS232 interface slot reader that supports computers with

RS232 serial port.

Both of these readers support the most popular bar code symbologies, like

Code 39, UPC/EAN, Interleaved 2 of 5, Standard 2 of 5, Code 128, Codabar,

MSI, Code 11, Code 93, etc.

MS140-3 Keyboard Wedge

Setup of the keyboard wedge reader can be done in three different ways:

•Via computer keyboard of a desktop PC.

•By Scanner Configuration Manager Software to configure the scanner

setting through the keyboard port.

•By using the custom labels (batch setup).

Installation:

The picture below illustrates how to connect the reader to your computer.

Follow these procedures for installation:

1. Turn off computer power.

2. Unplug keyboard from computer. Plug the reader into computer’s

keyboard port and the keyboard into the reader.

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

power-up.

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

PC/AT, please perform the setup on a PC/AT machine first in order to select a

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

computers.

Keyboard Wedge Setup

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

can be performed on a PC/AT computer with any text editor program, such as

Notepad, WordPad, etc. After the text editor program is running, there are

three different ways to enter setup:

•Swipe the “Keyboard Wedge Setup Label” bar code located on the cover

page of this manual.

•Press the left and right SHIFT keys simultaneously within the first 20

keystrokes after computer power up. (This will apply when the reader

has device ID set to PC/AT interface only. Swipe the “Enter Setup”

label if you have this manual handy.)

•Use custom labels (batch setup).

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

the screen. Please refer to the MS140 Setup Manual Section.

MS140-2 RS232 Wedge

Setup of the RS232 wedge reader can be done in two different ways:

•Through a modem communication utility (such as HyperTerminal).

•Via custom labels (batch setup).

Installation:

The picture below shows how to connect the reader to your computer. Use the

following procedures for installation:

1. Turn off computer power.

2. Plug the reader into the computer’s RS232 port.

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

power-up.

The default baud rate of the reader is set to 9600, no parity, and 8 data bits.

RS232 Interface Setup

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

Setup can be performed (at 9600 baud rate, 8bits and no parity) with any

modem communication utility, such as Windows’ HyperTerminal. To enter

Setup mode, start the Communication utility on the PC and swipe “RS232

Interface Setup Label” bar code label located on the back page of this manual.

On entering the Setup mode, a selection menu will be displayed on the screen

as follow:

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

0-Device 1-Scanner 2-Barcode 3-MSR 4-Others 5-RS232 6-Default 7-dump

8-Exit

Select==> _

Follow the prompts and make your selections accordingly. The setup

procedure is that simple. (Use Ctrl_R in lieu of the shift key in a string input

procedure. This method allows the user to input ASCII characters into a

string.)

Batch Setup

If more than one scanner needs to be configured, you can duplicate the settings

of the Master Scanner to the others. This is done by producing a set of custom

setup labels (derived from the master scanner) and then scanning these labels

to configure the other scanners. Selecting the Dump command in setup mode

or swiping the “Dump Setting” label below will dump the settings of the

reader to the screen as one or several ASCII string(s). Use any barcode

printing software, select Code 39 symbology, and use the output string(s) to

generate barcode labels. You can then scan these batch setup labels to

duplicate the settings.

Scanner Configuration Manager

Scanner Configuration Manager is a utility program to configure scanner

settings on a computer using the Windows 95/98 operating system. Use the

program to define the settings and then download the parameters to the

scanner. Download the program from our web site at www.unitech-adc.com.
