MS146 Manual 1

INTRODUCTION

The MS146 is a family of bar code slot readers specifically designed for

reading ID, membershop, or other types of cards that contain bar codes.

The MS146 comes in four interfaces: PS/2, RS232, USB, and TTL Wand.

The MS146 also comes in two different optical types: Visible Light

(660nm) for reading normal bar codes, and Infrared Light (930nm) for

reading bar codes hidden behind an opaque security film.

MS146

Normal Operation

MS146A and MS146IA

The Undecoded (or TTL, or Wand) MS146A requires an external decoder

in order to communicate with your computer. Decoders are built into

Wedge devices and many POS (Point of Sale) keyboards, such as the

Unitech KP3700.

The MS146A cannot be configured via Scanner Configuration Manager.

Any modification of the output data must be done in the external decoder.

MS146-2 and MS146I-2

The RS232 (Com Port) interface should only be used when your software

is designed to accept com port input. The MS146-2 has a built-in decoder

and outputs the scanned data in ASCII Code. MS146-2 input requires

special software such as HyperTerminal (Bits per second: 9600, Data bits:

8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1, Flow control: None) in order to view the

output.

The MS146-2 will require an optional power supply unless your computer’s

com port supplies power (unlikely).

MS146 Manual2

MS146-3PS2 and MS146I-3PS2

The PS/2 Keyboard Wedge interface is the most popular and straightfor-

ward. The MS146-3PS2 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 MS146-3PS2 operation should be “plug and play”. The MS146-3PS2

has a built-in decoder that outputs the scanned data in Scancode key-

board format. Your computer will treat your MS146-3PS2’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 MS146-3PS2 will need to be

configured as a “Keyboardless Wedge” (see “Device” in the “Scanner

Configuration Manager” section.

MS146-4 and MS146I-4

The USB interface is becoming popular and relatively foolproof. Your

MS146-4 uses the standard USB driver that has been included in the

Windows Operating System since Windows 98 SE.

The MS146-4 operation should be “plug and play”. The MS146-4 has a

built-in decoder that outputs the scanned data in HID keyboard format.

Your computer will treat your MS146-4’s input as it would normal keyboard

input.

Note: Mac OS10 users might need to update their USB driver.

MS146-3 and MS146I-3

The MS146-3 AT keyboard wedge interface has a “Y” interface cable with

an AT male plug on one end and an AT female plug on the other. The

cable end with the male plug is inserted into your computer’s keyboard

port and your keyboard is plugged into the female plug.

The MS146-3 operation should be “plug and play”. The MS146-3 has a

built-in decoder that outputs the scanned data in Scancode keyboard

format. Your computer will treat your MS146-3’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 an AT keyboard), then your MS146-3 will need to be configured

as a “Keyboardless Wedge” (see “Device” in the “Scanner Configuration

Manager” section.

MS146 Manual

The above icons, from left to right, represent download settings

(from computer to scanner), and upload settings (from scanner to

computer). The third icon opens a Test Pad where you can view the

actual scanner output.

Scanner Configuration Manager software is the simplest and most

foolproof way to configure your scanner settings.

SCANNER CONFIGURATION MANAGER

Above, from left to right, are the standard Windows icons for “New

Document”, Open File”, and “Save File”.

Scanner Configuration Manager saves scanner settings in .cfg files,

so you can have access to a variety of different scanner configura-

tions that you’ve set up.

To reset the scanner back to factory default, click on the “New

Document” icon and download the unmanipulated setting to the

scanner (see below).

After loading and starting SCMSetup.exe the icon to the left

will appear on your desktop:

Start it Up

Click on the SCM icon

and the following screen

will appear:

As you can see, you are

presented with a blank

work area and a row of

icons across the top.

Following is an explana-

tion of each of the icons:

MS146 Manual4

The above four icons are used in the “Data Editing” feature of SCM.

From left to right they are the “Add a Formula” icon, the “Remove a

Formula” icon, and the right-hand two are the “Move Formula” icons

that move selected formulas up or down in relation to each other.

For information on data editing, see page 22.

Click this icon to print a series of bar codes that you can scan in

order to configure your scanner to the current SCM settings.

This option is especially useful if downloading to the scanner is not

an option, like when using an interface adaptor or if Windows NT is

your operating system.

If you can produce PDF files via Acrobat, your SCM configuration

can be sent via e-mail to remote locations where they can be

scanned from a printed PDF file (without having to run SCM).

Help is just a click away.

Download to your Scanner

Once you have SCM configured just the way

you want it, click the Download icon (see page

3). The pop-up box to the right should appear:

Select your appropriate interface: USB, RS232,

or PS/2, and then click “OK”.

The green LED on your scanner should blink and you should see the

message “Download completed successfully”. Now your scanner is

ready to use with its new configuration.

If you should get the message “Download to scanner failed”, don’t

dispair. You can still click the “Print” icon (see above) and scan in

the resulting bar codes to configure your scanner.

MS146 Manual

The screen to the left

appears. Click on any of

the selections under

“Current Settings” to view

its “Attributes”.

Click the upload icon (see page 3) and the following pop-up screen

will appear: (alternatively, you can click on the “New Document”

icon, page 3, in which case the second screen will appear)

First Look

Enter the scanner product

number (MS146, for

example).

Make sure the “By Key-

board Interface” radio

button is selected, and

click “OK”.

The LED on the top of the

scanner will flash during

the upload process.

After selecting your config-

uration settings, click on

the Download icon (see

page 3). The LED on the

top of the scanner will

flash during the download

process. Afterwards, you

will be prompted to do an optional “Quick Test”.

Double-click on any of

the “Attributes” to edit

that attribute. This is

done via a drop-down

menu.

6MS146 Manual

Beep Tone

Select a value from “None” to “High” to set the loudness of the tone,

or select “Low to High” or “High to Low” to set the characteristic of

the tone.

Default is “Medium”.

Intercharacter Delay

Intercharacter Delay is the time duration between data characters

sent from the scanner to the computer. Intercharacter delay is

usually inserted when the data flow must be slowed down for the

benefit of a slower computer.

Default is “1 ms”.

Interblock Delay

Interblock delay is the time duration that can be inserted between

one block of data and another. This function is analogous to the

time duration required between dialing a phone number’s country

code and the phone number itself. The interblock delay can be

inserted via SCM’s Data Editing function (see page 22).

Default is “10 ms”.

Following is a detailed discussion of each of the settings, their

attributes, and the effects each of these will have on data output

from your Unitech scanner.

Settings

The only attribute for the “Device” setting is “Device ID”, which

defines the device to which the scanner is connected (usually a

computer or terminal). Select the setting that most closely de-

scribes your device.

The default selection is “01 - IBM PC/AT, PS/2 MOD 40, 60, 80,

USB”, which is appropriate for most PCs.

Device

The three attributes for “Beeps and Delays” are: “Beep Tone”,

“Intercharacter Delay”, and “Interblock Delay”.
