INTRODUCTION Metrologic's MS860 and MS863 laser bar code Scanners are high-speed, aggressive in-counter scanners. Both models have compact, durable housings for use with applications where counter top space is limited. The MS860 and MS863 autodiscriminate all standard bar codes. Each model © includes a code-correcting feature (MECCA ) that enables the scanner to decode damaged or truncated codes on the first pass. Both models can be programmed ® by using the bar code menus from the ScanSelect

SCANNER CONNECTIONS TO THE HOST To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host. 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Connect the 25-pin D-type connector on the scanner’s head cable to the communication cable. 3. Connect the other end of the communication cable to the host device. 4. If the scanner will not receive power from a transformer, skip to Step 5. If the scanner will receive power from an external power source, check the AC input

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

CLONING FEATURE The cloning feature is used to program several scanners with the same settings. To clone a scanner: 1. Turn OFF the power to both scanners by unplugging the transformers. 2. Connect the cloning cable (MLPN 51-51544) between the two scanners. 3. Turn ON the power to both scanners by plugging in the transformers. 4. When each scanner is ready, scan the cloning bar code with the scanner that has the settings that need to be transferred to the other scanner. CLONING 0 12345 77777 6

CONFIGURING THE MS860-11/MS863-11 SCANNER Located in the Version 11 scanner are two computer boards. One computer 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: Enable IBM 4680 Communication Enable UPC/EAN Beep after Transmit Enable Communication Timeouts Transmit UPC-A Check Digit Transmit U

SCANNER PARTS Touch Plate When a specified time has elapsed without any scanning, the unit will enter a “standby” mode. Touching the touch plate arrow on the top cover will reactivate the scanner. Red LED When the red LED flashes ON, the scanner has read a bar code successfully. When the red light turns OFF, communication to the host is complete. Green LED When the green LED is ON, this indicates the unit is receiving power and the laser is ON. Output Window This aperture emits laser lig

The MS860 TOUCH PLATE The MS860 will enter “standby” when it remains dormant for a time. When the scanner’s computer is on “standby," touching the touch plate will “wake up” the scanner and activate the laser. When the green LED comes on, the scanner is powering up for full operation. After approximately three seconds, the scanner will be ready to operate. The default touch plate timeout is ten minutes. However, this can be changed through ScanSet or by scanning a bar code in Section C of th

VISUAL INDICATORS There is a red and green LED at the top of the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the scan and scanner. Steady Green When the laser is on, the green LED is also on. This occurs when the touch plate has been touched. The green LED will remain on until the touch plate timeout elapses or until the scanner turns off. Steady Green; Red Flash When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash

VISUAL INDICATORS 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 diodes ne s'allument pas. Premièrement: si le scanner reçoit de l'énergie sans que les diodes ne s'allument, le scanner est resté sans servir pendant un
