Configure Scanner
Settings for Communications, Operations, Code Types, and User Outputs
are stored in non-volatile memory and can be configured from a host or
auxiliary terminal by menu (Chapter 2, “Menu Configuration”) or serial com-
mand (Chapter 3, “Serial Configuration”).
For explanations of configuration settings, see Chapter 2, “Menu Configura-
tion”
To establish communication you will need to match the host’s or auxiliary
terminal’s communication settings with your scanner’s settings (see Com-
munications Menu” on page 2-5). Also make certain that the code type
enabled in the scanner matches that of the label being used (see Code
Types Menu” on page 2-19).
Hint
: Enabling autodiscrimination in the menus (or with the <P> command) will
allow your scanner to read all of the listed code types.
Communicating with an ASCII Terminal
The MS-610 scanner communicates in full duplex, terminal mode with no
handshake. It also recognizes carriage returns and line feeds.
The host or ASCII terminal with must match the following default settings
before any communication can take place:
9600
Baud Rate
, Seven
Data
Bits
, Even
Parity
,
and
One
Stop Bit.
A PC or Macintosh computer can be used as an ASCII terminal if connected as
shown in table 1-3 and running a communications program set to the above
defaults. See your computer manual for communication’s port pinouts.
