1 Introduction The MS700 i Series Scanners are high throughput projection scanners that incorporate the latest in VLD ( V isible L aser D iode) 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.
2 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: 23.
3 Scanner Connections to the Host To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV ( S afety E xtra L ow V oltage) according to EN 60950. To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host.
4 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.
5 CLONING 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 Scanner Installation to a PC Keyboard Port The MS700 i /MS715 i /MS720 i/ scanner (version 17) provides keyboard emulation by converting the scanned bar code data to the PC keyboard scan code equivalent.
10 Figure 1 To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV ( S afety E xtra L ow V oltage) according to EN 60950.
11 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.
12 Figure 2 Installation of the MS700 Series Stand The following are components used to build the MS700 Series stand (MLPN: 45483): 1 Shoe Mount 4 Four Wood Screws 2 Stand Cover 5 One Machine (¼-20) Screw 3 Stand Base 6 Internal Lock Washer 7 Flexible Shaft 1.
13 Figure 3 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.
14 Figure 4 MS700 i and MS720 i Series Features 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.
15 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.
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.
17 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.
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.
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.
20 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.
21 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.
22 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 360 E , ±60 E , and ±60 E respectively.
23 Active Scan Region for the MS700 i and MS715 i 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.
24 Active Scan Region for the MS720 i 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.
25 Horizontal Scan Width vs. Distance for the MS700 i and MS715 i Scanner The following illustration notes the measurements of the horizontal scan width at given distances.
26 Horizontal Scan Width vs. Distance for the MS720 i Scanner The following illustration notes the measurements of the horizontal scan width at given distances.
27 Depth of Field for the MS700 i and MS715 i 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.
