Class II and Class 2 products are not considered to be hazardous. The MS840/MS084 series contains internally a Visible Laser Diode (VLD) whose emissions do not exceed the maximum limits as set forth in the above regulations. The scanner is designed so that there is no human access to harmful laser light during normal operation, user maintenance or prescribed service operations.The laser safety warning label required by the DHHS/IEC for the MS840B/MS840P/MS084 series' optional laser scanner module is located on the memory compartment cover, on the back of the unit. CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light. Use of optical instruments with the scanner, including binoculars, microscopes, and magnifying glasses, with will increase eye damage. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user.
ivBattery Notices The MS840 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery. The battery will discharge after an extended period of no use. When the battery is discharged, recharge the unit for some 4.5 hours in order to fully charge the battery.   Note: To guarantee optimal performance, it is advised that rechargeable batteries be replaced every year, or when 500 charge/discharge cycles are achieved. It is normal that the battery balloons or expands beyond one year or the maximum of 500 cycles. Although it does not cause harm, it cannot be used again and must be disposed of according to the location's safe battery disposal procedures. If the performance, of a Lithium-Ion battery, decrease is greater than 20% in, the battery is at the end of its life cycle. Do not continue to use, and ensure the battery is disposed of properly. The length of time that a battery lasts depends on the battery type and how the device is used. Conserve the battery life by doing the following: z Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a full discharge. Recharging a partially charged lithium-Ion battery does not cause harm because there is no memory effect. z Keep the lithium-Ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level. z Do not leave the lithium-Ion battery discharged and unused for an extended period because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will be at least half of the one with frequent recharges. Battery charge notice It is important to consider the environment temperature when the Lithium-Ion battery pack is charged. Charging is most efficient at normal room temperature or in a slightly cooler environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the stated range of 0°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle. CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C. This will increase the internal resistance to cause heat and make the batteries unstable and unsafe. Please use a battery temperature detecting device for a charger to ensure a safe charging temperature range. Storage and safety notice Although the charged Lithium-Ion battery may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion battery may be stored at temperatures between -30°C to 70°C, however they may deplete more rapidly at higher temperatures. It is recommended to store batteries at room temperature.
vWarranty The following items covered under the Unitech Limited Warranty are free from defects during normal use: z MS840B/MS840P/MS084 – 1-year limited warranty. z Lithium-Ion battery – 6-month limited warranty. Warranty becomes void if equipment is modified, improperly installed or used, damaged by accident or neglect, or if any parts are improperly installed or replaced by the user. Use only the adapter supplied. Using the wrong adapter may damage the unit and will void the warranty.

17When being not used, the scanner can be also set on the cradle for battery charging.Memory Buffer Setting The collected data can be sent back to a host computer one by one via the WPAN connection as the scanner is set to the Batch Mode, or can be stored in the flash memory of the scanner being set to the Inventory Mode. By default, the Batch Mode is enabled for use when the scanner is out of range. Upon reading a barcode successfully within range, the scanner responds with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off quickly. However, the host computer may not receive the data immediately if getting out of range. With the 4 KB transmit buffer, the scanner can ignore the transmission status and keep on reading barcodes until the buffer is full. When the Batch Mode is enabled and the scanner is out of range, the scanner will respond with two short beeps, high-low tone, upon reading a barcode successfully. When the memory buffer is full, the scanner will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off quickly. You are advised to get back to range.   MS840 features 2 memory mode settings: Batch Mode and Inventory Mode Note: The 4 KB of memory buffer in the scanner can hold as many as 256 scans based on EAN-13 barcodes. Data will be cleared out once the scanner is not powered!Batch Mode Batch Mode is the default setting. To set the scanner to the Batch Mode, scan the following barcodes in the order: Enter Group 6E12Exit
18In the Batch Mode, once you scan a barcode by using a scanner wirelessly connecting to the cradle (Cradle Mode) or a host PC (Cradle-less Mode) in a specified range, the scanner sends out the data. When the scanner is out of range of the cradle or the host and keeps trying to re-connect, the scanner will keep the data in its memory buffer until the buffer is full; when the scanner is again in range of the cradle or the host, the scanner will sent out the data that it has in the memory buffer . When the buffer is full and the scanner is out of range, the scanner will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off quickly. You are advised to get back to range. Inventory Mode Inventory Mode is the mode in which the scanner keeps the scanned data in its memory buffer but not send out the data on the host automatically; you should scan Read Buffer barcode to order the scanner sent out the memorized data to the Host. To set the scanner to the Inventory Mode, scan the following barcodes in the order: Bear in mind the fact that the scanner operating in the inventory mode does not send out the scanned data automatically but keeps the data in its memory buffer. If you want to make the scanner output the data it scanned before, please scan the Read Buffer barcode as shown below: Read Buffer Note: After scanning the Read Buffer barcode, the data is sent and deleted from the scanner’s memory buffer. If you do not output the barcode data, the barcode data is always kept in the memory buffer. To erase the data from the scanner’s memory buffer, scan the following barcodes in the order. Buffer Erasable If you are out of range of the cradle or the host PC when reading out the scanned data, the scanner will keep the data in its memory buffer until the buffer is full; only when the scanner is within the specified range of the cradle or the host, and you scan the Read Buffer barcode the data will be sent.   When the buffer is disabled and the scanner is out of range, the scanner will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off quickly. You are advised to get back to range. Erase BufferE1Exit1Enter Group 6
19Connecting Multiple Scanner Up to 3 scanners can be connected to 1 cradle. When data is scanned (at the same time) the cradle will sent the data from one scanner and then the date of the other scanner.

Pin code setting (waiting to enter a pin code) One beep with a Hi tone  Successful pairing/connection/reconnection (Cradle mode) 3 Hi-Low alarms  Disconnect (out of range) with 100ms delay from a high tone to a low tone or from a low tone to a high tone   One long beep with a Hi tone  Successful connection One short beep with a Hi-Low-Hi tone in setting mode Entering barcode setting mode One short beep with a Hi-Medium tone  Exiting barcode setting mode 2 short beeps with a Hi tone  Page calling One short beep with a medium tone  Successful in-range reading in batch mode One short beep with a medium tone  Buffer mode is disabled One short beep with a Low-Hi tone  Data to buffer (out of range) in batch mode and inventory mode One beep with a medium tone   Æ one long beep with a medium tone  Successful data transfer in batch mode and inventory mode 4 short beeps with a Low-Hi tone    Out  of  range (buffer mode disabled / inventory mode / buffer mode when the memory buffer is full) Definition of batch mode In range: Scanner will transmit each scanned data right after scanning the barcode. Out range: Scanner is able to continue scanning and all scanned data are stored into the memory buffer. Out range Æ in range: Stored scanned data will be transmitted automatically right after the radio link is resumed. (* You will hear 3 hi-low long beeps indicating the radio connection lost) Definition of inventory mode In range/out range: All scanned barcode data will be stored in memory stroage. Transmit stored data: Scan the "Read Buffer" (change to "send data") to transmit all stored data.   (* When the radio link is resumed, the scanner will give one long & hi beep after data transmission is completed. When the data can't transmit (radio link is lost), the scanner will give three short low-hi beeps.) Clear stored data: Scanner is preset to keep all stored data. You can clear all stored data by scan "Buffer Erasable" firstly and then scan "Erase Buffer" Change to "confirm Erase buffer". Definition of Buffer Disable In range: Scanner will transmit each scanned data right after scanning the barcode. Out range: Scanner is unable to scan and you will hear 3 short low-hi beeps. (* You will hear 3 hi-low long beeps indicating the radio connection lost.) LED Indication for Cradle The LED lights on the MS840 cradle turn on to indicate the status of the power and wireless connection.

21Chapter 3 Barcode Setting The scanner interface can be configured to fit the user's specific application. All configuration parameters are stored in a non-volatile memory, which is retained even if power is lost. Barcode Menu Setting The setup menu in Appendix D contains eight groups: * Group 1: Device selection. * Group 2: Beep and delay. * Group 3: Keyboard and Wand Emulation. * Group 4: RS-232 Settings * Group 5: Scanner port. * Group 6: Magnetic Reader * Group 7: Code 39, I 2 of 5, S 2 of 5 and Code 32. * Group 8: Code 128, Code 93, Code 11, Codabar, and MSI. * Group 9: UPC/EAN, and Delta Distance Code. * Group 10: Data Editing. * Group 11: Dump setup. Setup Procedures For most parameters, proceed the following steps for the setting: 1.  Locate a group that contains the parameter to be changed. 2.  Scan the "Enter Group #" label to enter setup mode. The green LED on the scanner will flash to indicate that setup is in progress. 3.  Scan the label (on right hand side) representing the parameter to be changed, such as B1 label. 4.  Scan the labels (number) representing the desired parameter value; for example, for 05, scan “0” and “5” labels. 5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4, if necessary, to change the parameters in the same group.6. Scan "Exit" label to end the group setup. The scanner will make two beeps to end the setup.
22Barcode Length Setting The following example illustrates how to set Code 39 with a minimum length of 5 and a maximum length of 20. * Scan “Enter Group 7”. * Scan “F1” to select Code 39. * Scan “MIN LENGTH” to enter minimum length setting. * Scan “0” and “5” to select length 5. * Scan “MIN LENGTH” to end minimum length setting. * Scan “MAX LENGTH” to enter maximum length setting. * Scan “2” and “0” to select length 20. * Scan “MAX LENGTH” to end maximum length setting. * Scan “Exit” to end setup. Code ID Setting Each barcode symbology supported by the scanner has a default ID character defined below. If you don’t know what the label that you’re scanning is, you may use this feature to identify. Symbology  Pre-DefinedUPC-A A UPC-E E EAN-13 F EAN-8 FF I 2 of 5  IS 2 of 5  HCode 39  MCodabar N Code 93  LCode 128  KUCC/EAN128 ]C1 MSI O Code 32  TDelta Code  DPlessey Code  PLabel Code IV,V  B China Postal Code  C Those ID characters can be redefined through setup menu. The following example shows how to set Code 93 with ID ‘O’ and Code 128 without ID: * Scan “Enter Group 5”. * Scan “D2” to select Code ID. * Scan “1” for "Enable". * Scan “D3” to define IDs. * Scan “0” and “9” for selecting Code 93. * Scan “O” from Full ASCII Table for new ID. * Scan “0” and "8" to select Code 128.
23* Scan “NULL” character from Full ASCII Table for none ID. * Scan “Exit” to end setup. Preamble (Prefix) and Postamble (Suffix) Regarding Preamble, the scanner adds the start of text characters before the input data; regarding Postamble, the scanner adds the end of text characters after the input data. The following description is an example that sets ‘STX’ as preamble and ‘ETX’ as postamble. * Scan “Enter Group 5”. * Scan “PP” to start preamble setting. * Scan ‘STX’ character from Full ASCII Table. * Scan “PP” to end preamble setting. * Scan “OO” to start postamble setting. * Scan ‘ETX’ from Full ASCII Table. * Scan “OO” to end postamble setting. * Scan “Exit”. Predefined Labels The scanner provides three special labels encoded as “/FY”, “/FZ”, and “/F-” in Code 39 format. The output from these labels can be defined through the setup menu. The definition of the labels share the same space with “Edit Formula definition”(See “Output Data Editing”), so you can only use one of the functions.       Label 0        Label 1          Label 2 /FY /FZ        /F-Here is an example indicating how to define the output of “Label 0” as “START”, “Label 1” as “ACCEPT”, and “Label 2” as “END”. * Scan “Enter Group 3” * Scan “B7” * Scan “0” to define “Label 0” * Scan “S”, “T”, “A”, “R” and “T” from Full ASCII chart * Scan “B7” to end “Label 0” * Scan “1” to define “Label 1” * Scan “A”, “C”, “C”, “E”, “P” and “T” from FULL ASCII chart * Scan “B7” to end “Label 1” * Scan “2” to define “Label 2” * Scan “E”, “N” and “D” from Full ASCII chart * Scan “B7” to end “Label 2” * Scan “Exit” to quit setup After programming, scanning “Label 0”, “Label 1”, and “Label 2” listed above will have the output of “START”, “ACCEPT”, and “END”, respectively. The characters defined in these labels can be ASCII characters or Function keys. To eliminate the definition of “Label 1”, do the following scan: * Scan “Enter Group 3” * Scan “B7” * Scan “1” to choose “Label 1”
24* Scan “B7” to end * Scan “Exit” to exit setup There is only total 24 characters space available for defining these three labels. If one of the labels has been defined for the output with 24 characters, the other two labels cannot be defined further. Quick Setup Appendix A has a quick setup chart, which gives you one-label-for-one-function convenience to set up the scanner. To set up the scanner, locate the label with the function you want and scan that label. Batch Setup If you need to configure more than one scanner, you may duplicate the settings of the scanner (master) to the others. You can do this by producing a set of custom setup labels derived from the master scanner, and by scanning these labels configuring the other scanners. The following label is called “Dump Settings” label. Before you scan the label, please open a text editor application (such as Notepad, Word, etc.). Scan the following label and the settings of the scanner will dump to the screen as one or several ASCII string(s). Use a barcode printing software, select Code 39 symbology, and use the string(s) to generate barcode labels. You use this batch setup labels to duplicate setting to the other scanners. Dump SettingsIf you have settings as follows: * Device Type is “Keybaordless Wedge”. * Do not send the check digit of UPC-A and EAN-13. * Define Preamble as “<F1>”. * Define Postamble as “<Tab>”. * Define Label 0 as “START”. When dumping settings on a PC/AT, you have the following strings: ...I800C06D51DJ808080A0O7C005354415254.Print into Code 39 bar code labels: . . . I 800C06D51DJ 808080A0O7C005354415254.
25By scanning the labels from top to bottom sequentially, you may duplicate the rest of scanners with the same settings. The following issues should be observed: z The sequence of the strings that the scanner dumped is important. You have to print the bar code labels and scan them in the same sequence as the one that the scanner dumped. z When you scan the batch setup labels to configure a scanner, the previous settings on that scanner are reset to default and then replaced by the settings contained in the batch labels. z Only the settings that are different from the default values will be dumped. So the number of labels produced depends on how many settings being changed compare to the factory default setting. z The settings can be dumped to a PC or terminal only if that PC or terminal matches the type defined by Device Type of the scanner. The previous example of “Keyboardless Wedge” as Device Type is equivalent to a PC/AT interface, so you cannot dump that settings to a system which dose not support a PC/AT keyboard interface.   The following label let you dump the settings to a PC/AT regardless what kind of device has been chosen on the scanner. Dump Settings On PC/ATz You can adjust the length of the dumped strings by combining multiple strings into one or breaking one string into multiple strings. The following strings have the same effect as the dumped string listed above: ...I800C06D51DJ808080A0O7C005354415254.You cannot delete any character from or add any character into the strings and the first three characters (“...”) must present in the first string. z All characters in dumped strings are in upper case. If you see lowercase characters in dumped strings, change them to upper case.
26Scanner Configuration Manager Software Scanner Configuration Manager is a utility program designed for users to configure scanner settings on a computer by using the Microsoft Windows based operating system. Use this program to define the settings and then download the parameters to the scanner. Download the program from our web site: http://www.ute.com.The SCM is for Cradle Mode only. SCM will be future support for MS840BT
27Chapter 4 Output Data Editing The Output Data Editing feature was removed from this barcode setup manual. It is implemented to the Scanner Configuration Manager Software providing a user-friendly interface for easier operation. Please download the latest program from Unitech’s web site at http://www.ute.com. This chapter will mainly describe the concept and feature provided by this data output feature. The function described here also can be replaced by the “Pre-defined Labels” function. So if data-editing function is defined, “Pre-defined Labels” will be removed. They cannot be defined at the same time. GeneralThe purpose of Data Edit is allowing you to define and modify a data record that comes from decoding of a bar code. By using combination of formulas, you can perform the following functions on the data received by the scanner: A. Rearrange the output sequences. B. Delete characters from the record. C. Insert characters to the record, including function codes. D. Duplicate characters in the record. E. Insert time delay in the recordFormulaFormula is a structure that tells the scanner what and how to process the original data record to produce the desired output. The wedge allows multiple Formulas, but the number of the Formulas can be defined depends on the memory size allocated for Data Editing. ¾ Original Data Structure The original data is the decoded data plus preamble and postamble. The original data structure is as follow: Preamble Decoded Data  Postamble ¾ Formula Structure A Formula consists of two parts:Qualifier and Modifier. Qualifier is used to verify if the data record meets the conditions specified and Modifier is processed only if all conditions in Qualifier are met. ¾ Execution Sequence If several Formulas were defined, data editing will perform sequentially from the first Formula to the last Formula. If a Formula is qualified and executed, the further formulas will be ignored. If none of the Formulas is executed, the data record will be discarded and there will be no output to the host.
28Formula Structure ProgrammingProgramming Sequence Each Formula is entered into the reader by the following sequence: Input_ID >> Length >> Match >> A-String >> O-String >>...>> O-String >> EnterA Formula starts with Input_ID and ends with “Enter”(a label in programming sheet). If a field is optional and missing, the next one in the sequence can be entered. But “Enter” must be the last input of a formula. Preparation To start the data editing, the following barcode sheets are needed: -- Programming Sheet. (Setup Sheet in Appendix D). -- Full ASCII Sheet (Appendix E). -- Function Code Sheet (Appendix B or C). Before programming Data Editing, you should know the format of the original data record that may be altered by the setup groups.
29Programming Sheet The bold and italicized characters in following sections mean a barcode label on the Programming Sheet. EnterGroup 10Scan this label to start the formula input.GroupDefaultErase all formulas. Review To see the formulas programmed in the Wedge. If scanning this label during a formula input (without finished by scanning “Enter”), the current formula will be displayed. Otherwise, all programmed formulas will be displayed. Backspace Delete the last character. ,Delimiter to separate parameters. "String specifier. *Wild character to specify any digit or any position. # Wild character to specify any letter(A--Z, a--z) or last position Enter To end the current formula. 0 to 9    For digit input. IN_ID For ID field input. LEN For Length field input. MATCH For Match field input. O-STR For O-String input. +For O-String input. -For O-String input. Exit Save all formulas and exit setup. Note: The ' * ', '#' ','"' and ',  'on Programming Sheet have special meanings as mentioned above and are different from those represented in Full ASCII chart. Always use characters in Full ASCII chart for string parameters unless a special function is required. Parameter Entry a) Digit Parameters and Numbers Each digit parameter or number is represented by one to three digits with ‘,’ as terminator. For example:1,023,b) String Parameters A string is a set of characters, wild characters, or sequence of adjacent characters enclosed in double quotation marks, which are on the Programming Sheet. For example: "A*B#  "
30Here * and #  are wild characters on the setup sheet. QualifierThere are three conditional fields in the Qualifier: Input ID, Length and Match. Input ID Format:IN_ID,ID1, ... ,IDi, Input ID is required and the original data record must correspond to Input ID of a formula in order to be processed. ID1 to IDi are represented by digits. The following Input IDs are available: 0    = Code 39 Full ASCII 1    = Code 39 Standard 2    = EAN 13 3    = EAN 8 4    = UPC A 5    = UPC E 6    = I 2 of 5 7    = Codabar 8    = Code 128 9    = Code 93 10      = S 2 of 5 11   = MSI 19  = All Inputs There is no limitation on the number of IDs to be defined. Example:IN_ID,0,11, What is shown above means the original data can be Code 39 or MSI. Length Format:LEN,Min,Max,Length field consists of two length parameters: minimum length (Min) and maximum length (Max). When defined, a formula will be performed if the length of the original data falls between MIN and MAX. When missing, the following fields of current Formula are always processed. Example:LEN,9,48,What is shown above means the length of original data must be within 9 and 48.
31MatchFormat:MATCH, P0 ,"C0",P1, "C1" ,...,Pn, "Cn" ,A pair of Pn and Cn forms a Match field (n indicates a sequential integer number). To define a Match field, two parameters are required. The first is character position (Pn) and the second is a string (Cn). Character position means the number of characters, counting from the first character to the one to be positioned in the data record. For example, in the following data BARCODE 'B' has position 1. 'A' has position 2. ...'E' has position 7. When Match field is defined, the original data string starts at the position specified by the first parameter P and will be compared with string "C". If the match is identical, processing of current Formula continues. The position parameter P could be a wild character  *  for any position or  #  for the last position in the original data. If  # is used, #-Nis valid.    Here N is a digit parameter. The string parameter C can include  *  for any digit or  #  for any letter. Examples: MATCH,3,"AB",#,"?",Checks if the original data has 'A' at position 3, 'B' at position '4' and last character is '?'. MATCH ,10,"*A*",Checks if the original data includes a string with a digit as first character and "A*" followed at position 10. ModifierModifier has two types of fields: A-String and O-String to define the output contents. A-String Format:"abc..."'a', 'b' and 'c' in the string can be any character. A-String defines a string of characters to be added to the output. For example, if the original data is: BCDand output string is BarCoDe"ar", 'o' and 'e' in output string are added strings and can be defined by A-Strings. Note: If '*' on Programming Sheet are included in A-String, one interblock delay defined by Group 2 will be inserted.
32O-String Format:O-STR , P, N,O-String always applies to the original data. It contains two parameters. The first is position parameter (P) that specifies the start output position in the original data. Parameter N tells how many characters will be included beginning from P. Example:Original data is: BarcodeThenO-Str , 4, 4, Gives output as codeNote:-- N can be '#' for all remaining characters from P. -- If P greater than the length of original data, the O-String will be skipped. -- If N greater than the number of remaining characters counting from P, the remaining characters are included as valid. ExamplesExample 1 If the original data is Code 39 and content is "AA", output "ABC Company", and otherwise output the original data as it is. IN_ID,0,LEN,2,2,MATCH,1,"AA","ABC company",EnterIN_ID,19,O-STR,1,#,EnterExample 2 If the original data is Code 128 and logically divided into: -- First six characters are personal ID, -- Other characters are person's name. The output will be: -- Personal ID first, -- A 'CR' character, -- Two interblock delay, -- Name, -- A 'CR' character. The Formula will be: IN_ID,8,O-STR,1,6,"<CR>**",O-STR,7,#,"<CR>",Enter<CR> is a Carriage Return character scanned from Full ASCII Chart. Advanced Features The O-String has the format: O-STR,P,N,
33Both parameters of O-String mentioned above are numbers. But both parameters can be specified as strings. If N is a string, it becomes a position and the meaning of O-String will be "Output from position P to position N". If P is defined as: "ab...ik"a, b, I, and k can be any character, the position will be evaluated as   -- Start from the first position of the original string and search character 'a'. -- From the position next to 'a' in original data, search for 'b'. -- .... -- From the position next to 'i', search for k. -- If above searches are all found, the result of the parameter will be the position where 'k' is located.If N is a string, the position evaluation of N is the same as P except that the searching position is starting from P+1. For both P and N, if string is defined, a value can be added to or subtracted from the position. That following O-Strings: "ab...ik"+M,and"ab...ik"-M,are meaningful. M is an integer number. Example:Suppose the following is a message to be modified: %B012345678901234^ABEL/STEVE L MGR ^90010129999999? In this message: "%" is start sentinel. "012345678901234" is account number. "^" is a separator 6.  "ABEL" is surname. "/" is a separator. "STEVE" is first name. "L" is initial. "MGR" is title "^" is a separator. "9001" is expiration date. "?" is end sentinel. The output sequence desired is: Surname, First Name [CR] Account Number [CR] Expiration Date [CR] The formula input will be: IN_ID,0,O-STR,"^"+1,"/"-1,",",O-STR,"/"+1,"<SP>"-1,"<CR>",O-STR,3,"^"-1,"<CR>",O-STR,"^^"+1,4,"<CR>",EnterHere <SP> is Space character and <CR> is Carriage Return character.
34The output of above input will be  ABEL,STEVE[CR]  012345678901234[CR]  9001[CR]
