1 Scope of the MS951 Programming Guide This Manual contains all of the configuration codes for all versions of the MS951 hand-held bar code scanner products. Not all hardware versions of the scanner support all of the features universally. PC Keyboard Wedge units do not use baud rates.
* * 2 Programming the Scanner The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed to a set of default conditions noted in this guide by an asterisk that appears before the brief definition. Since each host system is unique, the scanner has to be configured to match your host system requirements.
