1 Introduction The MS700 i Series Scanners are high throughput projection scanners that incorporate the latest in VLD ( V isible L aser D iode) ASIC/VLSI and surface mount technologies. Each scanner consumes only 8 watts of power and can directly connect to many host systems that can support a scanning device. One thoughtful feature is a “sleep m[...]

2 Unpacking List The shipping carton should contain the following: ! Installation and User’s Guide (MLPN: 2178) ! ScanSelect™ Scanner Programming Guide (MLPN: 2186) ! Volume Control Card (MLPN: 2346) ! MS700 i /MS715 i or MS720 i Laser Bar Code Projection Scanner ! Power Supply (optional) ! Communication cable with connection for power supply ([...]

3 Scanner Connections to the Host To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV ( S afety E xtra L ow V oltage) according to EN 60950. To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host. 1. Turn off the host syste[...]

4 Configuration of the Scanner to the Host System The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed to a set of default conditions. These default conditions are in the Default Settings section of this guide pages 36-41 and in the ScanSelect™ Scanner Programming Guide. The default settings in the ScanSelect guide have an asterisk that appears bef[...]

5 CLONING Cloning Feature To program several scanners with the same settings, use the Cloning feature. This is done by connecting the cloning cable (MLPN: #51544) between two scanners. 1. Turn off both scanners. 2. Connect the cloning cable between the two scanners. 3. Turn both scanners on by plugging in the transformers. 4. Once each scanner is r[...]

6 Version 11 IBM 46XX Scanner Output Format: IBM RS-485 serial input/output for the 4680 and 4690 (46XX) point-of-sale terminals The Version 11 46XX interface can be used in several different ways. Both the 46XX terminal and the scanner must be configured to match each other. Warning : Power to the scanner and 46XX terminal should be turned off bef[...]

7 Configuring the Scanner Located in the Version 11 scanner are two computer boards. One board is for decoding and the other for 46XX IO processing. The decode board is configured using ScanSet™ or ScanSelect™ while the IO board is configured with an internal DIP Switch bank. For UPC/EAN scanning, the decode board should be set as follows: Enab[...]

8 Configuring the IBM 46XX The 4683 and 4693 terminals are configured on the store controller. The 4684 and 4694 terminals are typically configured on the individual terminals. Follow the appropriate guide for the type of equipment. IBM 4683 and 4693 Terminals Driven by a 46XX Store Controller Running 4680.OS or 4690.OS Access the terminal configur[...]

9 Scanner Installation to a PC Keyboard Port The MS700 i /MS715 i /MS720 i/ scanner (version 17) provides keyboard emulation by converting the scanned bar code data to the PC keyboard scan code equivalent. The following are the supported keyboard and country types: PC Type ! AT (includes IBM PS/2 and compatible models 50, 55, 60, 80) ® ! XT ! PS/2[...]

10 Figure 1 To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV ( S afety E xtra L ow V oltage) according to EN 60950. 1. When connecting to a PS/2 computer, attach to the com- munication cable (#51573) the 5M 6F adaptor to the female connector and the 5F 6M adaptor to the male[...]

11 PC Application Note: For most applications, it will be desirable to disable linefeed transmission. For non-USA keyboards, 10 mesc is probably the best intercharacter delay. Network system installations, may require tuning of the intercharacter and inter scan code options. Note: Once the scanner connects to the PC, the PC can be turned on and wil[...]

12 Figure 2 Installation of the MS700 Series Stand The following are components used to build the MS700 Series stand (MLPN: 45483): 1 Shoe Mount 4 Four Wood Screws 2 Stand Cover 5 One Machine (¼-20) Screw 3 Stand Base 6 Internal Lock Washer 7 Flexible Shaft 1. Use the 2½ inch x 2½ inch stand base to mark the position for pilot holes. 2. Use the [...]

13 Figure 3 Attaching the Scanner to the Stand Once the stand is securely mounted to the work surface, attach the scanner. The scanner has a “foot” that is at the bottom of the scanner. This foot fits into the “shoe” attached to the top of the stand. This construction helps prevent the scanner from being knocked from the stand. 1. To preven[...]

14 Figure 4 MS700 i and MS720 i Series Features 1 Speaker The sound of a beep emits from here when the scanner performs a good read of a bar code. 2 Green and Red LEDs When the green LED is on, this indicates that the unit is receiving power and the laser is on. When the red LED flashes on, the scanner has read a bar code successfully. When the red[...]

15 Visual Indicators There is a red LED and a green LED located on the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs alert you to the status of the scan and scanner. No Red or Green LED There are two reasons why the LEDs will not be illuminated. First, if the scanner is receiving power and the LEDs are not on, the[...]

16 Signaux optiques Sur la partie supérieure du scanner se trouvent une diode LED rouge et une diode LED verte. Quand le scanner est sous tension, les diodes rouge et verte clignotantes ou allumées vous informent sur l'état du scanner. Ni la diode rouge, ni la diode verte n'est allumée Il existe deux raisons possibles pour que les dio[...]

17 Optische Anzeigen Auf dem Scanner befinden sich eine rote und eine grüne Leuchtdiode. Bei eingeschaltetem Scanner geben Ihnen die blinkenden bzw. feststehenden Leuchtdiodenanzeigen Aufschluß über den Abtast- und Scannerstatus. Weder rote noch grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige Es gibt zwei mögliche Gründe, weshalb die Leuchtdiodenanzeigen nicht auf[...]

18 Segnali ottici Sullo scanner si trovano due diodi luminosi: uno rosso e uno verde. Quando lo scanner è inserito, i diodi luminosi, che possono o essere accesi in continuazione o lampeggiare, Vi informano sullo stato della scansione e dell’apparecchio. Né il diodo luminoso rosso né quello verde sono accesi Vi sono due possibili cause se i di[...]

19 Volume Settings There are four volume settings available: low, medium, high and no volume. The operator can temporarily change the volume of the scanner by scanning the bar codes on the volume control card.
