Introduction

Metrologic's MS860i Mini-Slot™ Laser Bar Code Scanner is a high-speed,
aggressive in-counter scanner. The MS860i unsurpassed scanning accuracy and
incorporates the most advanced laser technology in a smaller, yet rugged and
durable housing. Designed to be used where counter space is at a premium, the
MS860i can be used in a variety of applications.

The MS860i autodiscriminates all standard bar codes, eliminating the need to
"key in" unprogrammed codes increasing productivity and efficiency. A code
correcting feature (MECCA)© enables the MS860i to decode damaged or
truncated codes on the first pass, making the MS860i an excellent choice for
reclamation and coupon redemption applications. Each version of the MS860i
provides three interface options, with full RS-232 protocol available on every
scanner. Three most popular protocols (RS-232, OCIA and Light Pen Emulation)
are consolidated into the standard model. For simple PC connectivity, a keyboard
wedge interface is also available. Metrologic also offers a patented Hand-Held
Option, which allows users to connect the MS941 Hand-Held Scanner to the
MS860i for greater scanning versatility.

The MS860i is easy to program via bar code menus from ScanSelect™ Scanner
Programming Guide or by using Metrologic's ScanSet™ IBM compatible

®

software program. Other key features of the MS860i are the auto-off/touch-on
plate and easily visible LED indicators mounted on the brushed stainless steel top
plate. An optional hardened glass window is also available. Universal adaptor
plates make it simple to replace older, larger flatbed scanners with the smaller
MS860i. Metrologic also provides a vertical mounting option, so customers can
use the MS860i as a projection scanner as well.

Most importantly, the MS860i is easy to afford. It offers a superior, versatile and
low cost alternative to larger, more expensive in-counter scanners.

Scanner Connections to the Host

To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the
scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
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 system.

2. Connect the 25-pin D-type connector on the scanner’s head cable to the
communication cable. Connect the other end of the communication cable
to the host device. (If the scanner will not receive power from a
transformer, skip to Step 5.)

3. If the scanner will receive power from an external power source, check the
AC input requirements of the transformer to make sure the voltage
matches the AC outlet. (A socket-outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.)

4. Plug the transformer into the side of the female D-type connector located
on the communication cable. Plug the transformer into the AC outlet to
supply power to the scanner.

5. Power up the host system.

Note: When the scanner first receives power, the LEDs will flash and then

the scanner will beep once. After the scanner performs this start up
sequence, the green LED will remain on for a specified time
indicating that the laser is on.

3

Configuration of the Scanner to the Host System

The scanner 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. The default settings in the ScanSelect guide have
an asterisk that appears before the brief definition
next to the bar code.

To communicate with the host system properly, it needs to be programmed to
meet specific scanning needs. Since each host system is unique, configure the
scanner to match the host system requirements. Configure the scanner by entering
program mode and scanning the appropriate bar codes that appear in the
ScanSelect Scanner Programming Guide. (When using ScanSet™, refer to the
ScanSet documentation for information on how to configure the scanner.)

1. Connect the scanner to the host system. (Refer to the Scanner
Connections to the Host section in this guide)

2. Enter program mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT program mode bar
code as the first bar code after a power up cycle.
(The unit will beep three times.)

3. Scan the appropriate bar code(s) that appear in the ScanSelect Scanner
Programming Guide. (Reveal only one bar code to the scanner each time.
With your hand, cover the bar code that is not to be scanned.)

4. Exit program mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT program mode bar
code again. (The new options will be saved and the scanner is ready for
normal operation.)

Note: Non-RS-232 interfaces chosen in Section B of the ScanSelect

Programming Guide do not match the default settings that are loaded
when the same interface is selected with ScanSet.

4

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 ready, scan the cloning bar code with the scanner
that has the settings that need to be transferred to the other scanner.

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

before making physical connection.

The 4680 and 4690 series terminals have different types of physical ports for
connecting bar code scanners. Scanner ports include Port 5B, Port 17, and Port
9? (? = A, B, C, or E). A Port 9 type connector is present on all versions of the
46XX families of terminals. That is one reason why it is the normal point of
connection for Metrologic scanners. Another reason is that there is enough 12
volt power available to operate many Metrologic scanners. If your terminal
configuration requires the use of a different physical port for connecting bar code
scanners, contact Metrologic to get particular adaptor cable information.

All devices use a common communications bus inside the 46XX terminal, despite
what port that is in use for the physical connection. Each device has a different
address that it uses when it communicates. The terminal must be configured to
look for a device at a logical address.

The IBM 1520 mode/address was selected as a default because it was the first
IBM 46XX family scanner to support UPC/EAN, Code 39 and Interleaved 2 of
5 (I 2 of 5). The Version 11 scanner formats Codabar, Code 128, and Code 93
using the Code 39 function code designation supported by the IBM device driver
for this scanner type. Other emulation modes currently available are the IBM
3687-2 Port 17 fixed scanner and the Port 9B IBM 4500 CCD hand-held bar
code reader. The use one of these other emulation modes may be needed
depending on which operating system (4680.OS, 4690.OS, POS/DOS or
DOS/RIPPS) is in use at your site.

Note: The IBM 4683 and IBM 4684 terminals have a good proven track

record of supplying power to Metrologic scanners. The IBM 4693 and
IBM 4694 terminals may be restricted from supplying power to certain
scanner models. Specifically, Metrologic currently recommends using
an external power supply for the scanner when connecting to an IBM

4694. Metrologic has no recommendations at this time for IBM 4693
terminals.

6

Configuring the MS860i-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 UPC-E Check Digit

These settings configure the decode board to beep after transmitting the data to
the terminal device driver. If the data does not clear the communications buffer
within two seconds, it is discarded without giving the operator a good scan
indication. This accommodates newer versions of the IBM device drivers that
enable/disable scanning in many different situations.

The default setting of the interface board is to emulate the IBM 1520 hand
scanner that supports UPC/EAN and alphanumeric code types. The following is
a list of switch settings for the internal interface board that handles the 46XX
SIOC communications.

There are eight DIP switches on the board that are both software and hardware
switches.

Switch 1 Switch 2 Emulation Mode

OFF OFF Port 5B, IBM 1520 Model 2 Laser Scanner

(default setting)
OFF ON Port 9B, CCD (IBM 4500/Opticon)
ON OFF Port 17, IBM 4014 Adaptor for 3687-2 to 468X
ON ON Reserved

Switch 3 Reserved (Should be OFF)
Switches 4, 5, 6, and 7 Must be ON
Switch 8 Should be OFF (Reserved)

7

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 your type of equipment.

IBM 4683 and 4693 Terminals Driven by a 46XX Store Controller Running

4680.OS or 4690.OS

Access the terminal configuration menu on the store controller. If not already
selected, select an IBM 1520 laser hand scanner (4680.OS Port 5B), an IBM
4500 hand-held bar code reader (CCD, 4680.OS Port 9B), or an IBM 3687-2
fixed scanner (4680.OS Port 17) that matches the configuration of your scanner.
Regarding the 4690.OS, at the time of this printing, Metrologic does not know
exactly which terminal port configuration screen is used for selecting scanners.
It should be listed under the Port 9A, 9B, 9C, or 9E sections. The 4693 terminal
has a Port 5B that was originally used for the IBM 1520 scanner. While IBM has
withdrawn this product, it was not clear how terminal configuration and device
driver support would be provided for the installed base of users.

Save the configuration and activate it for the desired terminals. Download the
configuration to the terminal(s) per standard procedures.

IBM 4684 and 4694 Systems

Initialize the RIPPS drivers for a hand scanner if hand scanner emulation was
selected. Initialize the RIPPS drivers for a “POS scanner” if the 3687-2 scanner
has been selected.

Version 17 Keyboard Wedge Scanner

The MS860i 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 (includes IBM PC and compatible models 30, 70, 8556)

Keyboard Country Type

! USA ! Germany
! France ! Spain
! Italy ! Belgium
! United Kingdom ! Swiss

With the appropriate communication cable, the scanner will also provide an RS­232 or light pen emulation interface. When configuring the scanner for one
interface versus another, change all necessary parameters for that particular
interface. For instance, when configuring the scanner for keyboard wedge
emulation, recall defaults, select the PC type, keyboard country type and
intercharacter delay. For further information, refer to the ScanSelect Scanner
Programming Guide or ScanSet Scanner Configuration Guide.

9

Connection of a MS860i-17 Scanner to a PC

To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the
scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
according to EN 60950.

1. Attach the adaptor to the communication cable if needed.

2. If the PC is on, exit your application and turn the PC off.

3. Disconnect the keyboard from the PC. Plug the communication cable to
the PC and the keyboard. Connect the 25-pin D-type connector on the
scanner’s head cable to the communication cable. (Refer to Figure 1)

4. Check the AC input requirements of
the transformer to make sure the
voltage matches the AC outlet. (A
socket outlet shall be installed near
the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.)

5. Plug the transformer into the side of
the female D-type connector located
on the communication cable. Plug the
transformer into the AC outlet to
supply power to the scanner. Turn the
PC on.

Figure 1

Note: Once the scanner is connected to the PC, the PC can be turned on and

will operate normally even if the scanner’s transformer is not plugged
in. However, bar codes will not be read until power is applied to the
scanner.

When the scanner first receives power, the LEDs will flash and the
scanner will beep once. After the scanner performs this start up
sequence, the green LED will remain on for a specified time
indicating the laser is on.

For information concerning keyboard wedge features, refer to the
section, Version 17 Keyboard Wedge Scanner.

Installing the Scanner into a Counter

Metrologic has designed three plates to accommodate in-counter installation of
the scanner. Included automatically with the purchase of the scanner is
Metrologic part #45471, Installation Plate. The universal and replacement plates
are available at an extra charge. Contact the distributor, dealer or Metrologic to
order one of these plates.

Metrologic Part Number 45471, Installation Plate:

This plate is designed for use in counters with no previous cut outs. No routing
is necessary for a flush fit as the stainless steel top is only .60mm (.024") thick.
The cut out measurements are 180.34mmL x 175.26mmW (7.1" x 6.9"). The
final cut out must not be greater than 1.5mm (1/16") or less than the exact
measurement. For easier installation, use the mounting template that accompanies
this guide.

Metrologic Part Number 45474, Universal Plate:

This plate is designed to fit into an existing cut out up to 292.1mmL x 508mmW
(11.5" x 20").

Metrologic Part Number 45470, Replacement Plate:

This plate is designed to fit into a cut out that previously contained an MS260 or
MS362 scanner. This plate fits into the existing 293.62mmL x 245.36mmW
(11.56" x 9.66") cut out.

11

Attaching the Vertical Stand to the Work Surface

With the Metrologic stand (Part #45472), there is a choice of four directions the
scanner can be positioned for the scanner for greater flexibility. Figure 2
illustrates one direction that can be chosen. The stand requires a mounting space
of 91.44mmL x 165.1mmW (3.6" x 6.5") to stabilize the stand. Since the arrow
of the scanner in Figure 3 is pointing to the right, items must be presented to the
scanner from left to right.

Figure 2

1. Drill four holes into the work
surface that correspond with
the holes in the 161.93mm x

85.73mm (6.38" x 3.38") base
of the stand.(See Figure 3)

2. Screw the stand to the work
surface with the four screws
that are provided.

3. Place the scanner into the
cradle of the stand.
(See Figure 4)

4. Align the two holes located on
the back of the scanner with
two holes on the stand.

5. Screw the scanner to the
stand.

MS860i Features

Becoming familiar with the features of the MS860i will help when operating the
scanner. The following illustration and list explain the pertinent parts.

Figure 5

1 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.

2 Green and Red LEDs When the green LED is on, this indicates 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 light
turns off, communication to the host is
complete.

3 Scanner Window This aperture emits laser light.
4 Head Cable This cable can be connected directly to the host

device or to a communication cable.

13

Touch Plate

The scanner 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 the ScanSelect
Programming Guide. The available times are two minutes, thirty minutes or no
timeout.

Plaque de palpeur

Le scanner passe en mode 'Stand-by' quand il n'est pas utilisé pendant une certaine période.
Si le calculateur du scanner se trouve en mode 'Stand-by', le contacte de la plaque de
palpeur "réveille" le scanner et active le laser. L'allumage de la diode verte indique que le
scanner se met en service en attente d'utilisation. Au bout d'environ 3 secondes, le scanner
est prêt à servir.

La temporisation standard de plaque de palpeur est de 10 minutes. Ceci peut toutefois être
modifié avec ScanSet ou par lecture d'un code barres au chapitre C du manuel de
programmation ScanSelect. Les durées disponibles sont deux minutes, trente minutes ou
même aucune temporisation.

Sensorplatte

Der Scanner tritt in den 'Stand-by'-Modus ein, wenn er für einen bestimmten Zeitraum
untätig geblieben ist. Befindet sich der Rechner des Scanners im 'Stand-by'-Modus,
"weckt" die Berührung der Sensorplatte den Scanner und aktiviert den Laser. Das
Aufleuchten der grünen Leuchtdiode zeigt an, daß der Scanner sich für volle
Betriebsbereitschaft einschaltet. Nach etwa drei Sekunden ist der Scanner betriebsbereit.

Der Standard-Sensorfeld-Timeout liegt bei zehn Minuten. Dies kann jedoch geändert
werden durch ScanSet oder Einlesen eines Barcodes in Abschnitt C des ScanSelect
Programmierhandbuchs. Die verfügbaren Zeiträume sind zwei Minuten, dreißig Minuten
oder gar kein Timeout.

14

Piastra sensore

Se lo scanner è rimasto disattivato per un determinato periodo esso passa in modalità
'stand-by'. Quando il calcolatore dello scanner si trova in modalità 'stand-by', occorre
toccare la piastra sensore per "svegliare" lo scanner ed attivare il laser. L’accensione del
diodo luminoso verde indica che lo scanner si accende per diventare completamente
pronto. Dopo circa tre secondi lo scanner ha raggiunto la condizione "pronto".

Il timeout standard della zona sensore è regolato su dieci minuti. Questo valore può, però,
essere modificato con lo ScanSet oppure con la lettura di un codice a barre, come descritto
nella sezione C del Manuale di programmazione ScanSelect. Gli intervalli possibili sono
due minuti, trenta minuti oppure nessun timeout.

15

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 then beep
once. If this does not happen, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Steady Red and Green

After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. When
the host is not ready to accept the information, the scanner’s red LED will remain
on until the data can be transmitted.

Alternating Red and Green

This indicates the scanner is in program mode.

Steady Red

This indicates the scanner is in ScanSet mode.

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, then the scanner has remained
dormant for a specified time and the laser has turned off. To reactivate the unit,
touch the touch plate. Secondly, if the scanner is not receiving power from the
host or transformer, then the LEDs will not turn on.

Flashing Red

This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the
unit for repair at an authorized service center.

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 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 une certaine période et le laser est désactivé. Pour le réactiver, touchez le palpeur
infrarouge. Deuxièmement: quand le scanner ne reçoit de l'énergie ni de l'ordinateur
central, ni du transformateur, les diodes restant éteintes.

Diode verte reste allumée

Quand le laser est en service, la diode verte s'allume également. C'est le cas quand vous
avez touché le palpeur. La diode verte reste allumée tant que la temporisation de
l'infrarouge dure ou jusqu'à ce que le scanner soit désactivé.

Diode verte reste allumée; diode rouge clignotante

Après lecture avec succès d'un code barres par le scanner, la diode rouge se met à clignoter,
suivie d'un bip sonore unique. Si la diode rouge ne clignote pas ou quand aucun bip sonore
n'est émis, cela signifie que le code barres n'a pas pu être lu avec succès.

Diode rouge et verte reste allumées

Une fois le palpage effectué avec succès, le scanner transmet les données à l'ordinateur
central. Si ce dernier n'est pas prêt à recevoir les données, la diode rouge du scanner
s'allume jusqu'à ce que les données puissent être transmises.

Diode rouge et verte en alternance

Indique que le scanner se trouve en mode de programmation.

Diode rouge reste allumée

Indique que le scanner se trouve en mode ScanSet.

Diode rouge clignotante

Indique une panne de laser pendant le palpage. Veuillez envoyer votre appareil chez un c­oncessionnaire pour réparation.

17

Optische Anzeigen

Auf dem Scanner befinden sich eine rote und eine grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige. Bei
eingeschaltetem Scanner geben Ihnen die blinkenden oder feststehenden
Leuchtdiodenanzeigen Aufschluß über den Abtast- und Scannerstatus.

Weder rote noch grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige

Es gibt zwei mögliche Gründe, weshalb die Leuchtdiodenanzeigen nicht aufleuchten.
Erstens: Wenn der Scanner mit Strom versorgt wird und die Leuchtdiodenanzeigen nicht
aufleuchten, so ist der Scanner für einen bestimmten Zeitraum untätig geblieben und der
Laser ist abgeschaltet. Berühren Sie das Sensorfeld zur Reaktivierung der Einheit.
Zweitens: Wenn der Scanner weder vom Hostrechner noch vom Transformator Energie
erhält, leuchten die Leuchtdiodenanzeigen ebenfalls nicht auf.

Feststehende grüne Anzeige

Wenn der Laser eingeschaltet ist, leuchtet die grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige ebenfalls auf.
Dies ist der Fall, wenn das Sensorfeld berührt wurde. Die grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige
leuchtet solange auf, bis das Sensorfeld-Timeout abgelaufen ist oder bis der Scanner
abgeschaltet wird.

Feststehende grüne Leuchtanzeige; rote Blinkanzeige

Nach erfolgreichem Lesen eines Barcodes durch den Scanner blinkt die rote Leuchtdiode
auf, gefolgt von einem einmaligen Piep-Signal. Blinkt die rote Leuchtdiodenanzeige nicht
auf oder sendet der Scanner kein einmaliges Piep-Signal aus, so konnte der Barcode nicht
erfolgreich gelesen werden.

Feststehende rote und grüne Leuchtanzeige

Nach erfolgreichem Abtasten überträgt der Scanner die Daten an das Hostgerät. Falls das
Hostgerät zur Datenannahme nicht bereit ist, leuchtet die rote Leuchtdiodenanzeige
solange auf, bis die Daten übertragen werden können.

Alternierende rote und grüne Leuchtanzeige

Zeigt an, daß sich der Scanner im Programmiermodus befindet.

Feststehende rote Leuchtanzeige

Zeigt an, daß sich der Scanner im ScanSet-Modus befindet.

Aufblinkende rote Leuchtanzeige

Zeigt an, daß beim Scanner ein Laserausfall vorliegt. Bringen Sie das Gerät zur Reparatur
in ein Vertragsservicecenter.

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 diodi luminosi non sono accesi. Prima causa: se lo scanner
viene alimentato e i diodi luminosi non sono accesi, lo scanner è rimasto disattivato per un
determinato periodo e il laser è spento. Per riattivare l’unità dovreste toccare la zona
sensore. Seconda causa: se lo scanner non viene alimentato né dal calcolatore host né dal
trasformatore, i due diodi luminosi non sono accesi.

Il diodo luminoso verde è acceso

Quando il laser è inserito, è acceso anche il diodo luminoso verde. Questo si ha quando la
zona sensore è stata toccata. Il diodo luminoso verde è acceso fino al raggiungimento del
timeout della zona sensore oppure fino allo spegnimento dello scanner.

Il diodo luminoso verde è acceso; quello rosso lampeggia

Dopo la lettura riuscita di un codice a barre da parte dello scanner il diodo luminoso rosso
lampeggia e quindi viene emesso un unico segnale beep. Se il diodo luminoso rosso non
lampeggia oppure lo scanner non emette un segnale beep unico, ciò significa che la lettura
del codice a barre non è riuscita.

Sono accesi sia il diodo luminoso rosso che quello verde

Dopo la scansione riuscita lo scanner trasmette i dati all’host. Se l’host non è pronto per
accettare i dati, il diodo luminoso rosso dello scanner è acceso fino a che i dati possono
essere trasmessi.

Il diodo luminoso rosso e quello verde sono accesi in alternanza

Ciò indica che lo scanner si trova nella modalità di programmazione.

Il diodo luminoso rosso è acceso

Ciò indica che lo scanner si trova nella modalità ScanSet.

Il diodo luminoso rosso lampeggia

Ciò indica che lo scanner ha un guasto a livello del laser. Fate riparare l’apparecchio da un
centro di assistenza autorizzato.

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. To change the volume of the scanner
permanently, enter program mode and scan the appropriate volume setting bar
code in Section C of the ScanSelect Programming Guide or use ScanSet.

Note: A copy of the volume control card is at the end of this guide.

20

Labels

There is one label located inside the window of the scanner noting that the device
is a CDRH Class IIa laser product and IEC 825 LASERKLASSE 1. Also, on
each scanner is a label located on the back of the unit. This label contains
information such as the model number, date of manufacture, and serial number.
The following are samples of these labels:

Depth of Field

Through the glass at the front of the scanner, safe, low powered laser beams are
projected in a complex pattern that resembles a spider web. Each of the five scan
fields that generate the scan pattern extends to a range of 127mm (5.0"). This
range begins from the face of the scanner window and extends from the unit for
a distance of 127mm (5.0") measured along the scanning beam at the center of
each scan segment. This 0.0mm - 127mm (0" - 5") range is the depth of field for
the MS860i scanner (see figure 6).

The scan pattern is projected at an angle away from the touch plate (approx­imately 20 degrees, overall). As the scan fields move outward, they expand. Like
an image expands from a film projector as it moves toward the screen at a movie
theater, the scan pattern projects out to a well-defined region. Any label that is
facing toward the scanner can be read at any point within the scanning field.

Default Settings

The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed to a set of default
conditions. The default parameter of the scanner has an asterisk ( * ) in the
charts on the following pages. If an asterisk is not in the default column then
the default setting is Off or Disabled.

Every communication does not support every parameter. If the communica­tion supports a parameter listed in the charts on the following pages, a check
mark will appear.

For the scanner to communicate with your host system properly, program it to
meet the specific scanning needs. Since each host system is unique, change the
default settings to match the host system requirements. For information on how
to change the default settings, refer to the Configuration of the Scanner to the
Host System section or the ScanSelect™ Scanner Programming Guide.

Notices

Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Any unauthorized changes or modifications
to this equipment could void the users authority to operate this device.

Notice

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Industry and Canada.

Caution

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous laser light. Under no circumstances should the customer attempt to service the

N.B.

Dal controllo di questo apparecchio risulta che esso risponde ai valori limite per apparecchi digitali
della classe A conf. parte 15 delle direttive sulle telecomunicazioni dell’Autorità federale statunitense.
Questi valori limite sono stati fissati per garantire una protezione adeguata contro gli effetti nocivi se
questo apparecchio viene usato all’intero di un negozio. L’apparecchio genera, utilizza e può emettere
energia ad alta frequenza e, se non viene installato ed utilizzato conformemente alle indicazioni fornite
nel Manuale utente, può provocare disturbi al servizio radiofonico. L’uso di questo apparecchio in
zone residenziali causa molto probabilmente dei disturbi. In questo caso l’utente è obbligato ad
eliminare questi disturbi a sue spese. Qualsiasi sostituzione o modifica non autorizzata
all’apparecchio potrebbe rendere invalida l’autorizzazione dell’utente all’uso dell’apparecchio.

N.B.

Questo apparecchio digitale non supera I valori limite per l’emissione di radiorumori da parte di
apparecchi digitali della classe A conformemente alle direttive per radiodisturbi del Ministero
canadese per l’Industria.

Attenzione

L’utilizzo di sistemi di controllo, di regolazioni o di procedimenti diversi da quelli decritti nel presente
Manuale può provocare dei raggi laser pericolosi per la vita. Il cliente non deve assolutamente tentare
di riparare egli stesso lo scanner laser. Non guardate mai nel raggio laser, anche se credete che lo
scanner non sia attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per guardare dentro l’apparecchio. Se tuttavia lo
fate, potete esporVi a dei raggi laser pericolosi per la vita. L’uso di apparecchi ottici con questo
equipaggiamento laser aumenta il rischio di danni alla vista.
