Introduction
Introducing the MS842
Your new scanner has been configured at the factory with default settings.
Since many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements, Unitech provides a wide range of configurable features that may be selected using this bar code based configuration tool. Once the configuration is completed, the scanner stores the settings in nonvolatile memory (NOVRAM). NOVRAM saves the settings when the power is turned off.
Turn off the computer’s power before connecting the scanner, and then power up the computer once the scanner is fully connected.
You can change a parameter value in the way described below:
Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory.
NOTE: Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.
Select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beep signal activates. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to default values, scan the
Set Default
bar code in Chapter 3.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
Report Version
Scan the bar code below to report the version of software currently installed in the decoder.

USB Interface
This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with a USB host. The digital scanner connects directly to a USB host, or a powered USB hub, which powers it. No additional power supply is required.
Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning
from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.
Connecting a USB Interface
The digital scanner also interfaces with other USB hosts which support USB
Human Interface Devices (HID).
Note: Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustratedabove are
examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the digital scanner are the same.
1. Connect the modular connector of the USB interface cable to the cable interface port on the digital scanner.
2. Plug the series A connector in the USB host or hub, or plug the Plus Power connector in an available port of the IBM SurePOS terminal.
3. Select the USB device type by scanning the appropriate bar code from USB
Device Type.
4. On first installation when using Windows, the software prompts to select or install the Human Interface Device driver. To install this driver, provided by
Windows, click Next through all the choices and click Finished on the last choice. The digital scanner powers up during this installation.

USB Host Parameters
USB Device Type
Select the desired USB device type.
USB Virtual COM
USB Transmission Speed Parameters
Use the following parameters to speed USB data transmission:
USB Polling Interval
- When using more current USB systems, use this parameter to set a lower interval in order to increase data transmission speed.
Quick Keypad Emulation
- When configured as a USB HID keyboard device, use this parameter to increase the data transmission speed of a mix of both printable (7-bit) and full (8-bit) ASCII characters.
USB Polling Interval
This option speeds data transmission for all USB devices except CDC. Scan a bar code below to set the polling interval. The polling interval determines the rate at which data can be sent between the scanner and the host computer. A lower number indicates a faster data rate. The default value is 8 msec.
Changing the polling interval re-initializes the scanner.
CAUTION Ensure your host machine can handle the selected data rate. Selecting
a data rate that is too fast for the host can result in lost data.

RS-232 Interface
This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with an RS-232 host. Use the RS-232 interface to connect the digital scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port).
Connecting an RS232 Interface
Connect the digital scanner directly to the host computer.
Note: Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in above
are examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the digital scanner are the same.
1. Attach the modular connector of the RS-232 interface cable to the cable interface port on the digital scanner.
2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable to the serial port on the host.
3. Connect the power supply to the serial connector end of the RS-232 interface cable. Plug the power supply into an appropriate outlet.
16
Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
4. Select the RS-232 host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from RS-232
Host Types.
5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
RS-232 Host Types
To select an RS-232 host interface, scan one of the following bar codes.
1
Scanning Standard RS-232 activates the RS-232 driver, but does not change port settings
(e.g., parity, data bits, handshaking). Selecting another RS-232 host type bar code changes these settings. The CUTE host disables all parameter scanning, including Set Defaults. If you inadvertently select CUTE, scan
*Enable Parameter Bar code Scanning
, and then change the host selection.
17
Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
Baud Rate
Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the digital scanner's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form.
Note: The digital scanner does not support baud rates below 9600.
18
Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
Parity
A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements.
Select Odd parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an odd number of 1 bits.
Select Even parity to set the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an even number of 1 bits.
Select None when no parity bit is required.
Stop Bit Select
The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. Select the number of stop bits (one or two) based on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.
Data Bits
This parameter allows the digital scanner to interface with devices requiring a 7-bit or 8-bit ASCII protocol.
19
Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
Check Receive Errors
Select whether or not to check the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above.
Hardware Handshaking
The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to
Send (CTS).
Disable Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data as it becomes available. Select Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data according to the following sequence:
The digital scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to de-assert the
CTS line. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and discards any scanned data.
When the CTS line is de-asserted, the digital scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, the scanner transmits data. If, after Host Serial Response
Time-out (default), the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and discards the data.
When data transmission completes, the digital scanner de-asserts RTS 10 msec after sending the last character.
The host should respond by negating CTS. The digital scanner checks for a de-asserted CTS upon the next transmission of data.
During the transmission of data, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is deasserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the digital scanner aborts transmission, sounds a transmission error, and discards the data.
If this communication sequence fails, the digital scanner issues an error indication.
In this case, the data is lost and must be rescanned.
If hardware handshaking and software handshaking are both enabled, hardware handshaking takes precedence.
Note: The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state.
None: Scan this bar code to disable hardware handshaking.
Standard RTS/CTS: Scan this bar code to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware
Handshaking.
20

RTS/CTS Option 1: If you select RTS/CTS Option 1, the digital scanner asserts
RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts
RTS when the transmission completes.
RTS/CTS Option 2: If you select Option 2, RTS is always high or low
(user-programmed logic level). However, the digital scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within Host Serial
Response Time-out (default), the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
RTS/CTS Option 3: If you select Option 3, the digital scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The digital scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.
Software Handshaking
This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of that offered by hardware handshaking. There are five options.
If software handshaking and hardware handshaking are both enabled, hardware handshaking takes precedence.
None: Select this to transmit data immediately. The digital scanner expects no response from the host.
ACK/NAK: If you select this option, after transmitting data, the digital scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When it receives a NAK, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK.
After three unsuccessful attempts to send data after receiving NAKs, the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
The digital scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response
Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data. There are no retries
21

when a time-out occurs.
ENQ: If you select this option, the digital scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If it does not receive an ENQ within the
Host Serial Response Time-out, the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every
Host Serial Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors.
ACK/NAK with ENQ: This combines the two previous options. For re-transmissions of data, due to a NAK from the host, an additional ENQ is not required.
XON/XOFF: An XOFF character turns the digital scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for
XON/XOFF:
The digital scanner receives an XOFF before has data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If it does not receive the XON within this time, the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
The digital scanner receives an XOFF during a transmission. Data transmission then stops after sending the current byte. When the digital scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data message.

Output Data Editing
Transmit Code ID Character
A Code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This is useful when decoding more than one code type. In addition to any single character prefix already selected, the Code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol.
Select no Code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID character.
Note: If you enable Symbol Code ID Character or AIM Code ID Character, and enable Transmit “No
Read” Messag , the digital scanner appends the code ID for Code 39 to the NR message.
Prefix/Suffix Values
You can append a prefix and/or one or two suffixes to scan data for use in data editing. To set a value for a prefix or suffix, scan a four-digit number (i.e., four bar codes) that corresponds to that value.
When using host commands to set the prefix or suffix, set the key category parameter to 1, then set the 3-digit decimal value.
To correct an error or change a selection, scan
Cancel
.
Note: To use Prefix/Suffix values, first set the Scan Data Transmission Format as shown below .

FN1 Substitution Values
The wedge and USB HID keyboard hosts support a FN1 Substitution feature.
Enabling this substitutes any FN1 character (0x1b) in an EAN128 bar code with a value. This value defaults to 7013 (Enter key).
When using host commands to set the FN1 substitution value, set the key category parameter to 1, and then set the 3-digit keystroke value. See the ASCII character set table for the current host interface for the desired value.
To select a FN1 substitution value via bar code menus:
1. Scan the bar code below.
2. Locate the keystroke desired for FN1 substitution in the ASCII character set table in the appropriate host interface chapter. Enter the 4-digit ASCII value by scanning each digit.

GS1 DataBar Limited Security Level
The decoder offers four levels of decode security for GS1 DataBar Limited bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between security and decoder aggressiveness. Increasing the level of security may result in reduced aggressiveness in scanning, so only choose the level of security necessary.
Level 1 – No clear margin required. This complies with the original GS1 standard, yet might result in erroneous1 decoding of the DataBar Limited bar code when scanning some UPC symbols that start with the digits “9” and “7”.
61
Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
Level 2 – Automatic risk detection. This level of security may result in erroneous decoding of DataBar Limited bar codes when scanning some UPC symbols. If a misdecode is detected, the decoder operates in Level 3 or Level 1.
Level 3 – Security level reflects newly proposed GS1 standard that requires a
5X trailing clear margin.
Level 4 – Security level extends beyond the standard required by GS1. This level of security requires a 5X leading and trailing clear margin.
Note: It may result in erroneous decoding due to Databar Limited and UPC symbologies.

Security Level
The decoder offers four levels of decode security for delta bar codes, which include
UPC/EAN and Code 93. Select increasing levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and decoder aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for any given application.
Security Level 0: This setting allows the decoder to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in decoding most “in-spec” bar codes.
Security Level 1: This default setting eliminates most misdecodes.
Security Level 2: Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.
Security Level 3: If you selected Security Level 2 and misdecodes still occur, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the decoder. If you need this level of security, try to improve the quality of the bar codes.
Intercharacter Gap Size
The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various bar code-printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the decoder from decoding the symbol.
If this problem occurs, scan the Large Intercharacter Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar codes.

Macro PDF Features
Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file.
The decoder can decode symbols that are encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 Kb of decoded data stored in up to 50 MacroPDF symbols.
CAUTION: When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers.
Do not mix bar codes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data. When scanning
Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire sequence without interruption. When scanning a mixed sequence, two long low beeps (Low/Low) indicates an inconsistent file ID or inconsistent symbology error.

Macro PDF Transmit / Decode Mode Symbols
Select one of the options below for handling Macro PDF decoding. In Buffer All
Symbols the decoder can handle sets of up to 50 maximum-sized Macro PDF symbols. In all other modes there is no limit to the size of the MacroPDF set.
Buffer All Symbols / Transmit Macro PDF When Complete: This transmits all decode data from an entire Macro PDF sequence only when the entire sequence is scanned and decoded. Use the beeper and LED signals provided with the MS842 when using this mode to ensure proper user feedback. If the decode data exceeds the limit of 50 symbols, there is no transmission because the entire sequence was not scanned. Use the parameter
Flush Macro Buffer
to purge the buffer.
Transmit Any Symbol in Set / No Particular Order: This transmits data from each Macro PDF symbol as decoded, regardless of the sequence (although some error handling is performed). When selecting this mode, enable
Transmit
Macro PDF Control Header
. Also use the beeper and LED signals provided with the MS842 to ensure proper user feedback.
70
Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
Passthrough All Symbols: This transmits and decodes all Macro PDF symbols and performs no processing. In this mode the host is responsible for detecting and parsing the Macro PDF sequences.
Use this mode when the decoder’s BEEPER_ON signal is not used to drive a beeper. In the other modes, some Macro PDF scanning sequences provide audible feedback only, so if BEEPER_ON is not used, no user feedback is provided. All actions marked No Tranmission provide no feedback unless the BEEPER_ON signal is used.
By using Passthrough All Symbols mode every user decode is transmitted to the host where the host software can provide the appropriate feedback.
Transmit Macro PDF Control Header
When enabled, this activates transmission of the control header, which contains the segment index and the file ID, in Macro PDF symbols. For example, the field may be: \92800000\725\120\343. The five digits after the \928 are the segment index (or block index), and \725\120\343 is the file ID.
Enable this when selecting Transmit Any Symbol in Set / No Particular Order for the
Macro PDF Transmit /Decode Mode Symbols
, and disable this when selecting
Buffer All Symbols / Transmit Macro PDF When Complete. This parameter has no effect when Passthrough All Symbols is selected.

Scan a bar code below to either format special data according to the GLI (Global Label Identifier) protocol, or to disable this parameter. This parameter only affects the data portion of a Macro PDF symbol transmission; the Macro PDF Control Header (if enabled) is always sent with GLI formatting.
Flush Macro Buffer
This flushes the buffer of all decoded Macro PDF data stored to that point, transmits it to the host device, and aborts from Macro PDF mode.
Abort Macro PDF Entry
This clears all currently-stored Macro PDF data in the buffer without transmission and aborts from Macro PDF mode.
