INTRODUCTION

The MS5145 Eclipse™ is a single-line, hand-held laser scanner.

Equipped with Honeywell’s patented CodeGate
used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate technology allows the user to
easily target the desired bar code and complete the data transmission with a
simple press of a button. This combination makes Eclipse a perfect selection for
menu scanning, point-of-sale, document processing and inventory control.

With state-of-the-art scanning technology embedded inside, the MS5145 Eclipse
has a longer working range and a wider scan field than a typical CCD. The width
of the scan line grows as the scanner moves further away from bar codes. In
addition, the laser beam pulses, making lining up bar codes easy and when the
scanner senses a bar code (CodeSense® Mode), the laser beam automatically
switches to scan mode and activates CodeGate to ensure high-speed scanning
and accuracy.

Many standard features are included such as: user configurable Flash ROM,
PowerLink user-replaceable cables, MetroSet
and data editing (parsing).

SCANNER OPERATION

Indicators

Audible

When the MS5145 scanner is operational, the scanner provides audible
feedback to indicate the status of the scanner and the last scan. Eight settings
are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone).
For instructions on how to change the tone of the beeper, refer to the Single-Line
MetroSelect Configuration Guide.

One Beep – On Power Up

The green LED will turn on, then the red LED will flash and the scanner will
beep once. The red LED will remain on for the duration of the beep. The
scanner is now ready to scan.

One Beep – During Operation

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and
the scanner will beep once (if programmed to do so). If the scanner does not
beep once and the red light does not flash, then the bar code has not been
successfully read.

Three Beeps – During Operation

When entering the configuration mode, the red LED will flash while the scanner
simultaneously beeps three times. The red LED will continue to flash until the
unit exits configuration mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner
will beep three times and the red LED will stop flashing.

When configured for communication timeout, three beeps during operation will
indicate that a communication timeout has occurred.

Three Beeps – On Power Up

This is a failure indicator. Refer to the Failure Modes section of this guide on
page 15.

Razzberry Tone

This is a failure indicator or an invalid code read during configuration mode.
Refer to the Failure Modes section of this guide on page 15.

13

SCANNER OPERATION

Indicators

Visual

The MS5145 is equipped with a red LED and green LED which indicate the
scanner’s state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation.

Figure 13. LED Color and Location

Green and Red LEDs Are Off

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the
host or transformer.

Steady Green

Indicates normal pulse or continuous laser operation. Accompanied by a
razzberry tone, it indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned.

Flashing Green

After a period of inactivity, the ON time of the pulsing laser will be shortened.
During this time the green LED will flash. This indicates that the scanner is in
a power saver mode. When a bar code enters the laser field, the scanner will
wake up and return to normal pulse mode.

Steady Green and Single Red Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and
the scanner will beep. If the red LED does not flash and the scanner does not
beep, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Steady Green and Steady Red

After a successful read, the scanner transmits the data to the host device.
Some communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when
data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information,
the scanner’s red LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted.

Steady Green and Continuous Flashing Red

When entering the configuration mode, the red LED will flash, the green LED
will turn on and the scanner will beep three times. The red LED will continue to
flash and the green LED will stay on until the unit exits the configuration mode.

14

SCANNER OPERATION

Indicators

Failure

One Razzberry Tone – On Power Up

This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser or flipper subsystem
failure. Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.

Continuous Razzberry Tone with no LEDs

If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the
scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to
an Authorized Service Center.

Three Beeps – On Power Up

If the scanner beeps three times on power up, then the non-volatile memory
(NovRAM) that holds the scanner configuration has failed. Return the unit for
repair to an Authorized Service Center.

SCANNER OPERATION

Configuration Modes

The MS5145 Eclipse has three modes of configuration.

• Bar Codes
The Eclipse can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the
MetroSelect® Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544). This
manual can be downloaded FREE at www.honeywell.com/aidc.

• MetroSet
This user-friendly Windows-based configuration software allows the user to
simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. This software can be
downloaded FREE at www.honeywell.com/aidc or set-up disks can be
ordered by calling a customer service representative, see page 44.

• Serial Configuration
This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications. This mode gives
the end-user the ability to send a series of commands using the serial port of
the host system. The commands are equivalent to the numerical values of
the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide
(

MLPN 00-02544).

How does Serial Configuration work?

1. Each command sent to the scanner is the ASCII representation of each
numeral in the configuration bar code. The entire numeric string is framed
with an ASCII [stx] and an ASCII [etx].

EXAMPLE #1
Command for Disabling Codabar
Command = [stx]100104[etx]
String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h
(All values are hexadecimal).

2. If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an
[ack].

3. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with
a [nak].

Note: If this occurs, the end-user must start over at the very beginning of

®

2

:

the configuration sequence. Re-transmitting the invalid command
will not work. The user must start over.

17

SCANNER OPERATION

4. During configuration, the motor and laser turn off. YOU CANNOT SCAN A
BAR CODE WHILE IN SERIAL CONFIGURATION MODE.

5. There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second timeout
occurs, the scanner will send a [nak] and you must start over.

6. To enter serial configuration mode, send the following command
[stx]999999[etx].

7. To exit serial configuration mode, send the following command
[stx]999999[etx], the scanner will respond with an [ack] followed by 3 beeps.

8. This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits
settings that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the
scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively. If a command is sent to the
scanner to change any of these settings, the change will NOT take effect
until after serial configuration mode is exited.

EXAMPLE #2

The following example will set the scanner to the factory default settings,
Disable Scanning of Code 128 bar codes, change the beeper tone, and add
a “G” as a configurable prefix.

Enter Configuration Mode
Load Defaults

Disable Code 128
Alternate Tone 1

Exit Configuration Mode

The scanner will beep three times!

The commands sent to the scanner do not include the small superscripted

For commands requiring additional bar codes to be scanned (such as
prefixes, suffixes, timeouts, etc.), simply send the code bytes in the same
order that you would normally scan the bar codes.

SCANNER OPERATION

EXAMPLE #3

The following example shows the events that occur when an invalid bar code
is sent. This sample will load the factory default settings and then set the
baud rate to 19200.

Enter Configuration Mode
Load Defaults
Invalid command was sent, you must start over!
Enter Configuration Mode
Load Defaults
19200 Baud Rate
Exit Configuration Mode

The scanner will beep three times!

This example illustrates two important points.

First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with
a [nak] and the end-user must start over from the beginning.

Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate
does not take effect until after the end-user exits configuration mode.

code being scanned.

The minimum symbol
length setting does
not work with the bar
code.

UPC/EAN, Code 39, interleaved 2
of 5, Code 93, Code 128 and
Codabar are enabled by default.
Verify the type of bar code being
read has been selected.

Verify the bar code being scanned
falls into the configured criteria.

The scanner defaults to a
minimum of three-character bar
code.

If the unit is setup to support
ACK/NAK, RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF
or D/E, verify that the host cable
and host are supporting the
handshaking properly.

Verify the unit’s data format
matches that required by the host.
Make sure that the unit is
connected to the proper host port.

Check if it is a check
digit/character/or border problem.

Check if the correct minimum
symbol length is set.

The unit scans
the bar code but
there is no data.

configured for the appropriate
mode.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Symptoms Possible Causes Solution

Make sure that the proper PC type
The unit scans
but the data is
not correct.

The unit’s
configuration is not
correct.

AT, PS2 or XT is selected. Verify

the correct country code and data

format is selected. Adjust the

inter-character delay symptom.

The unit is
transmitting
each character
twice.

Alpha
characters show
as lower case.

Everything
works except for
a couple of
characters.

RS232 Interface

The unit
powers-up OK
and scans OK
but does not
communicate
properly to the
host.

The unit’s
configuration is not
correct.

The computer is in
Caps Lock mode.

These characters
may not be supported
by that country’s key
look up table.

The com port at the
host is not working or
not configured
properly.

The cable is not
connected to the
proper com port.

Increase the interscan code delay

setting. Adjust whether the F0

break is transmitted.

It may be necessary to try this in

both settings.

Enable the Caps Lock detect

feature of the scanner to detect

whether the PC is operating in

Caps Lock.

Try operating the scanner in Alt

mode.

Check to make sure the baud rate

and parity of the scanner and the

port match and that the

configuration is looking for

“RS232” data.

Check to make sure the unit is

connected to the correct com port

on the host device.

The host is
receiving data
but the data
does not look
correct.

Characters are
being dropped.

22

The scanner and host
may not be
configured for the
same interface
parameters.

Inter-character delay
needs to be added to
the transmitted
output.

Check the scanner and the host

are configured for the same

interface parameters.

Add some inter-character delay to

the transmitted output by using

the MetroSelect Single-Line

Configuration Guide.

RS232 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM

If an RS232 scanner is not communicating with your IBM compatible PC, key in
the following BASIC program to test that the communication port and scanner are
working.

This program is for demonstration purposes only. It is only intended to prove that
cabling is correct, the COM port is working, and the scanner is working. If the bar
code data displays on the screen while using this program, it only demonstrates
that the hardware interface and scanner are working. At this point, investigate
whether the application software and the scanner configuration match.

If the application does not support RS232 scanners, a software wedge program
that will take RS232 data and place it into a keyboard buffer may be needed.
This program tells the PC to ignore RTS-CTS, Data Set Ready (DSR) and Data
Carrier Detect (DCD) signals. If the demonstration program works and yours still
does not, jumper RTS to CTS and Data Terminal Reading (DTR) to DCD and
DSR on the back of your PC.
