1 Getting Started

1.1 Introducing the MS846

This guide provides programming instructions for the MS846 . Users can configure the MS846 by scanning
the programming barcodes included in this manual.

The MS846 features fast scanning and decoding accuracy. Barcodes rotated at any angle can still be read
with ease. When scanning a barcode, simply center the aiming beam or pattern projected by the MS846
over the barcode.

1.2 Factory Defaults

Scanning the following barcode can restore the engine to the factory defaults.

Note: Use this feature with discretion.

Restore All Factory Defaults

2 Communication Interfaces

The MS846 provides a TTL-232 interface and a USB interface to communicate with the host device. The host
device can receive scanned data and send commands to control the engine or to access/alter the
configuration information of the engine via the TTL-232 or USB interface.

2.1 TTL-232 Cable Select

Before using Serial Communication interface, scanner must be set as TTL-232 cable. Please reset the
scanner after set 232-cable.

232 Cable Reset

6
 2.2 TTL-232 Interface

Serial communication interface is usually used when connecting the engine to a host device (like PC, POS).
However, to ensure smooth communication and accuracy of data, you need to set communication
parameters (including baud rate, parity check, data bit and stop bit) to match the host device.

The serial communication interface provided by the engine is based on TTL-level signals. TTL-232 can be
used for most application architectures. For those requiring RS-232, an external conversion circuit is needed.
The conversion circuit is available only to some models.

Default serial communication parameters are listed below. Make sure all parameters match the host
requirements.

Parameter Factory Default

Serial Communication Standard TTL-232
Baud Rate 115200
Parity Check None
Data Bits 8
Stop Bits 1
Hardware Flow Control None

7
 2.3 Baud Rate

Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the baud rate to match the Host
requirements.

2400 4800

9600 19200

38400 57600

115200 (default)

2.4 Data Bit & Parity Check& Stop Bit

None Parity /8 Data Bits/1 Stop Bit(default) None Parity /7 Data Bits/1 Stop Bit

Odd Parity /8 Data Bits/1 Stop Bit Odd Parity /7 Data Bits/1 Stop Bit

Odd Parity /7 Data Bits/2 Stop Bit

2.5 USB HID-KB

When you connect the engine to the Host via a USB connection, you can enable the USB HID-KB feature
by scanning the barcode below. Then engine’s transmission will be simulated as USB keyboard input. The
Host receives keystrokes on the virtual keyboard. It works on a Plug and Play basis and no driver is
required.

No Case Conversion (default)

Convert All to Upper Case Convert All to Lower Case

Example: When the Convert All to Lower Case feature is enabled, barcode data “AbC” is transmitted as
“abc”.

2.8 USB COM Port Emulation

If you connect the engine to the Host via a USB connection, the USB COM Port Emulation feature allows the
Host to receive data in the way as a serial port does. A driver is required for this feature.

USB COM Port Emulation

3 General Configuration

3.1 Trigger Mode

If the Trigger Mode is enabled, you could activate the scanner by providing an external hardware trigger, or
using a serial trigger command. When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a barcode is read, or
until the hardware trigger is released. When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a barcode has been read
or until the deactivate command is sent.

This function allows the scanner to append several QR barcode data together before
transmitting to host. When the scanner encounters a QR barcode with append character
(ex. Space character), it buffers the data until it reads a QR barcode which does not have
append character. Then the data is transmitted in the order that the barcodes were read.
