Introduction The MS700i Series Scanners are high throughput projection scanners that incorporate the latest in VLD (Visible Laser Diode) ASIC/VLSI and surface mount technologies. Each scanner consumes only 8 watts of power and can directly connect to many host systems that can support a scanning device. One thoughtful feature is a “sleep mode” that turns the laser and motor off when not in use.
Unpacking List The shipping carton should contain the following: ! Installation and User’s Guide (MLPN: 2178) ! ScanSelect™ Scanner Programming Guide (MLPN: 2186) ! Volume Control Card (MLPN: 2346) ! MS700i /MS715i or MS720i Laser Bar Code Projection Scanner ! Power Supply (optional) ! Communication cable with connection for power supply (optional) or Communication Cable (optional) ! Stand #45483 (optional) If any item is missing or to order additional items, contact the dealer, distributor or
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.
Configuration of the Scanner to the Host System The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed to a set of default conditions. These default conditions are in the Default Settings section of this guide pages 36-41 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.
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.
Configuring the Scanner Located in the Version 11 scanner are two computer boards. One 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.
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 the 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.
Scanner Installation to a PC Keyboard Port The MS700i/MS715i/MS720i/ scanner (version 17) provides keyboard emulation by converting the scanned bar code data to the PC keyboard scan code equivalent.
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. When connecting to a PS/2 computer, attach to the communication cable (#51573) the 5M 6F adaptor to the female connector and the 5F 6M adaptor to the male connector. 2. If the PC is on, exit the application and turn the PC off. Figure 1 3. Disconnect the keyboard from the PC. 4.
PC Application Note: For most applications, it will be desirable to disable linefeed transmission. For non-USA keyboards, 10 mesc is probably the best intercharacter delay. Network system installations, may require tuning of the intercharacter and inter scan code options. Note: Once the scanner connects to the PC, the PC can be turned on and will operate normally even if the scanner's transformer plug is not in. However, bar codes will not be read until the scanner receives power.
Installation of the MS700 Series Stand The following are components used to build the MS700 Series stand (MLPN: 45483): Figure 2 1 2 3 Shoe Mount Stand Cover Stand Base 4 5 6 7 Four Wood Screws One Machine (¼-20) Screw Internal Lock Washer Flexible Shaft 1. Use the 2½ inch x 2½ inch stand base to mark the position for pilot holes. 2. Use the four wood screws to secure the base to the work surface. 3. Position the stand cover on top of the stand base. 4. Screw the flexible shaft to the stand base. 5.
Attaching the Scanner to the Stand Once the stand is securely mounted to the work surface, attach the scanner. The scanner has a “foot” that is at the bottom of the scanner. This foot fits into the “shoe” attached to the top of the stand. This construction helps prevent the scanner from being knocked from the stand. 1. To prevent obstruction when sliding the scanner into place, loosen the small screw (A) located in the center of the long part of the shoe with a 3/32" hex key wrench. (Refer to Figure 3) 2.
MS700i and MS720i Series Features Figure 4 1 Speaker The sound of a beep emits from here when the scanner performs a good read of a bar code. 2 Green and Red LEDs When the green LED is on, this indicates that 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.
Visual Indicators There is a red LED and a green LED located on the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs alert you to the status of the scan and scanner. 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 period of time and the laser has turned off. To reactivate the unit, wave an object in front of the IR sensor.
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.
Optische Anzeigen Auf dem Scanner befinden sich eine rote und eine grüne Leuchtdiode. Bei eingeschaltetem Scanner geben Ihnen die blinkenden bzw. feststehenden Leuchtdiodenanzeigen Aufschluß über den Abtast- und Scannerstatus. Weder rote noch grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige Es gibt zwei mögliche Gründe, weshalb die Leuchtdiodenanzeigen nicht aufleuchten.
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.
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 permanently change the volume of the scanner, 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.
Labels There is one label located inside the window of each 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, serial number, and approvals.
InfraRed (IR) Object Sensor An infrared (IR) device located below the LEDs and above the scanner output window (refer to the section, MS700i and MS720i Features page 14) initiates the scanning process. As long as power is applied to the unit, the IR sensor projects a signal that extends approximately seven (7) inches beyond the output window. When the scanner’s computer is on “standby," passing an object in front of this sensor device will “wake up” the scanner and activate the laser.
Symbol Orientation To scan a symbol, it may be oriented in any of the degree angles shown in Figure 5. The roll, pitch, and yaw are 360E, ±60E, and ±60E respectively.
Active Scan Region for the MS700i and MS715i Scanner The active scan region is the region within the depth of field of the five scan segments in which the laser beam can intercept and read symbols oriented as shown in the section Symbol Orientation page 22. Planes formed by each of the five scan segments define the bottom of the region. The 178mm (7.0") depth of field of each of the scan segments bound the top.
Active Scan Region for the MS720i Scanner The active scan region is the region within the depth of field of the five scan segments in which the laser beam can intercept and read symbols. The bottom of the region is 7" from the scanner window. Planes formed by each of the five scan segments define the sides. The 203mm (8.0") depth of field of each of the scan segments bound the top.
Horizontal Scan Width vs. Distance for the MS700i and MS715i Scanner The following illustration notes the measurements of the horizontal scan width at given distances.
Horizontal Scan Width vs. Distance for the MS720i Scanner The following illustration notes the measurements of the horizontal scan width at given distances.
Depth of Field for the MS700i and MS715i Scanner 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 178mm (7.0"). The range begins from the face of the scanner window and extends from the unit for a distance of 178mm (7.0") measured along the scanning beam at the center of each scan segment. This 0.
