TO BEGIN SCANNING

 

 
 
1. Point the scanner at the bar code to be read. 
 
2.  Press and hold  the  Scan  button and make  sure  that  the  red  laser 
line appears. 
 
3. Aim the laser line so that it crosses the entire bar code. The scanner 
beeps and the LED indicator flashes when the scan is successful.

 

 
4.  When  you hear  the  scanner beep,  or  see  the LED  indicator  flash, 
release the Scan button. 
 
5. If the scanner is already connected to the host computer the bar code data is immediately transmitted 
to the host computer. 
 
6.  If the scanner is not connected to the host computer the ROV enters into batch mode and every bar 
code that is scanned is stored in the ROV’s non-volatile memory and can be downloaded later. 
 
7. If the ROV has been preset for “Auto Download ON” then all bar codes stored in non-volatile memory 
will be transmitted to the host computer immediately upon reconnecting the scanner to the interface cable 
that must already be attached to the host computer.  
 

The following information should be noted

 

 
If the ROV has been preset for “Auto Download ON” then the USB interface cable must be attached to the 
host computer before the ROV scanner is connected to achieve a successful data download from batch 
mode. If the interface cable is attached to the ROV scanner prior to connecting to the host computer the 
data  will  not  be  automatically  downloaded.  If  the  ROV  has  been  preset  for  “Auto  Download  OFF”  then 
data downloading is controlled by scanning the “Download Batch Data” command bar code located on the 
separately supplied Bar Code Control Chart. 

Scanner Battery Information 

The scanner was designed for maximum battery life. With three fresh 

AAA

 alkaline batteries the scanner 

should deliver 24,000+ scans, or roughly 100-scans / day for 12 months. The ROV MS220-BT Cordless 
Scanner, with three fresh 

AAA

 alkaline batteries, should deliver 16,000+ scans, or about 100-scans / day 

for 8 months.
