1 Getting Started
1.1 Introducing the MS846
This guide provides programming instructions for the MS846 . Users can configure the MS846 by scanning
the programming barcodes included in this manual.
The MS846 features fast scanning and decoding accuracy. Barcodes rotated at any angle can still be read
with ease. When scanning a barcode, simply center the aiming beam or pattern projected by the MS846
over the barcode.
1.2 Factory Defaults
Scanning the following barcode can restore the engine to the factory defaults.
Note: Use this feature with discretion.
Restore All Factory Defaults

2 Communication Interfaces
The MS846 provides a TTL-232 interface and a USB interface to communicate with the host device. The host
device can receive scanned data and send commands to control the engine or to access/alter the
configuration information of the engine via the TTL-232 or USB interface.
2.1 TTL-232 Cable Select
Before using Serial Communication interface, scanner must be set as TTL-232 cable. Please reset the
scanner after set 232-cable.

2.2 TTL-232 Interface
Serial communication interface is usually used when connecting the engine to a host device (like PC, POS).
However, to ensure smooth communication and accuracy of data, you need to set communication
parameters (including baud rate, parity check, data bit and stop bit) to match the host device.
The serial communication interface provided by the engine is based on TTL-level signals. TTL-232 can be
used for most application architectures. For those requiring RS-232, an external conversion circuit is needed.
The conversion circuit is available only to some models.
Default serial communication parameters are listed below. Make sure all parameters match the host
requirements.

2.3 Baud Rate
Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the baud rate to match the Host
requirements.

2.5 USB HID-KB
When you connect the engine to the Host via a USB connection, you can enable the USB HID-KB feature
by scanning the barcode below. Then engine’s transmission will be simulated as USB keyboard input. The
Host receives keystrokes on the virtual keyboard. It works on a Plug and Play basis and no driver is
required.
