MS240/241 Manual
MS240-4
The USB interface is becoming popular and relatively foolproof.
Your MS240-4 uses the standard USB driver that has been included
in the Windows Operating System since Windows 98 SE.
The MS240-4 operation should be “plug and play”. The MS240-4
has a built-in decoder that outputs the scanned data in HID keyboard
format. Your computer will treat your MS240-4’s input as it would
normal keyboard input.
Note: Mac OS10 users might need to update their USB driver.

MS240-3PS2
The PS/2 Keyboard Wedge interface is the most popular and
straightforward. The MS240-3PS2 has a “Y” interface cable with a
PS/2 male plug on one end and a PS/2 female plug on the other.
The cable end with the male plug is inserted into your computer’s
keyboard port (not the mouse port!) and your keyboard is plugged
into the female plug.
The MS240-3PS2 operation should be “plug and play”. The MS240-
3PS2 has a built-in decoder that outputs the read data in Scancode
keyboard format. Your computer will treat your MS240-3PS2’s input
as it would normal keyboard input.
Note: If you are using a laptop computer or a USB keyboard (ie.
you are not using a PS/2 keyboard), then your MS240-3PS2 will
need to be configured as a “Keyboardless Wedge” (see “Device” in
the “Scanner Configuration Manager” section.
