3 S CANNER C ONNECTIONS TO THE H OST To avoid potential problems, do not pow er up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the ho st. 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Connect the 25-pin D-type connecto r on the scanner’s head cable to the communication cable.
4 C ONFIGURATION OF THE S CANNER TO THE H OST S YSTEM The MS860/MS863 is shipped from the fact ory programmed to a set of default conditions noted in the Default Settings section of this guide and in the ScanSelect ® Scanner Programming Guide provided.
5 C LONING F EATURE The cloning feature is used to program several scanners with the same settings. To clone a scanner: 1. Turn OFF the power to both scanners by unplugging the transformers. 2. Connect the cloning cable ( MLP N 51-51544) between the tw o scanners.
6 V ERSION 11 IBM 46XX S CANNER 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 way s. Both the 46XX terminal and the scanner must be configured to match each other.
7 C ONFIGURING THE MS860-11/MS863-11 S CANNER Located in the Version 11 scanner are tw o computer boards. One computer board is for decoding and the other for 46XX IO processing. The decode board is configured using ScanSet or ScanSel ect w hile the IO board is configured w ith an internal DIP Switch bank.
8 C ONFIGURING THE IBM 46XX The 4683 and 4693 terminals are configured on the store controller. T he 4684 and 4694 terminals are typically configured on the individual terminals. Follow the appropriate guide for your ty pe of equipment. IBM 4683 and 4693 Terminals Driven by a 46XX Store Controller Running 4680.
9 V ERSION 17 K EYBOARD W EDGE S CANNER The MS860/MS863 scanner (version 17) provides keyboard emulation by converting the scanned bar code data to the PC keyboard scan code equivalent.
10 C ONNECTION OF A MS860-17 S CANNER TO A PC 1. If the PC is on, exit your application and turn the PC off. 2. Disconnect the keyboard from the PC . Plug the Key board Wedge cable to the PC and the keyboard. Use the adapter cable if necessary . 3. Connect the 25-pin D-type connecto r on the scanner’s head cable to the Keyboard Wedge cable.
11 O PTIONAL I N -C OUNTER M OUNTING O PTIONS F OR THE MS860 Metrologic has designed three plates to accommodate in-counter installation of the MS860. Included automatically w ith the purchase of the MS860 is Metrologic part #45-45471, Installation Plate.

13 S CANNER P ARTS n Touch Plate When a specified time has elapsed without any scanning, the unit will enter a “standby” mode. Touching the touch plate arrow on the top cover will reactivate the scanner. o Red LED When the red LED flashes ON , the scanner has read a bar code successfully.
14 The MS860 T OUCH P LATE The MS860 will enter “standby ” w hen it remains dormant for a time. When the scanner’s computer is on “standby," touc hing the touch plate w ill “wake up” the scanner and activate the laser. When the green LED comes on, the scanner is powering up for full operation.
15 V ISUAL I NDICATORS There is a red and green LED at the top of the scanner . When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the scan and scanner. Steady Green When the laser is on, the green LED is also on.
16 V ISUAL I NDICATORS 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 V ISUAL I NDICATORS Optische Anzeigen Auf dem Scanner befinden sich eine rote und eine grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige. Bei eingeschaltetem Scanner geben I hnen die blinkenden oder feststehenden Leuchtdiodenanzeigen Aufschluß über den Abtast- und Scannerstatus.
18 V ISUAL I NDICATORS Segnali ottici Sullo scanner si trovano due diodi lumi nosi: 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 st ato della scansione e dell’apparecchio.
19 V OLUME S ETTINGS There are four volume settings available: low, medium, high and no volume. The operator can temporarily change the volume of t he scanner by scanning the bar codes on the volume control card.
