Setup Procedures
This chapter describes the user-configurable settings for the MS910 and provides the
programming bar codes for selecting these features for the scanner. To configure your MS910
scanner:
1. Locate the appropriate feature setting listed in the following pages.
2. Set feature values by scanning single barcodes or short barcode sequences.
3. The MS910 will beep to confirm a successful scan and will store the new setting in the scanner’s
memory.
Min. Length / Max. Length
Step 1: Scan MIN LENGTH or MAX LENGTH.
Step 2: Scan two digits from Full ASCII Chart of Appendix A.
Step 3: Scan MIN LENGTH or MAX LENGTH.
NOTES:
1. If the scanner beeps three times, it is an alert that a setting update is incomplete.
2. If you make a mistake in attempting to update a scanner setting, such as accidentally scanning
the wrong barcode or forgetting a step, scan the [Reset] barcode below to start the process over.
Reset
Default
3. If you want to restore the scanner back to factory settings, please scan the [Default]
barcode below.
Bar Code Length Setting
The following examples illustrate how to set up Code 39 with a minimum length of 5 and a
maximum length of 20, respectively.
 Minimum length of 5

NOTES:
1. A PREAMBLE is a string of up to 16 characters added to the beginning of a scanned barcode.
2. A POSTAMBLE is a string of up to 16 characters added to the end of a scanned bar code.
3. Default value for either: None.
Quick Setup
Appendix A has a quick setup chart, which gives you one label or one function for quick
customization of 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 can duplicate the settings of one scanner
(master) and quickly deploy these settings to the others. You can do this by producing a set of
custom setup labels derived from the master scanner. Then simply scan these labels to
configure the other scanners.
Dump Settings
The following label is called the “Dump Settings” label. Before you scan the label, please open
a text editor application (such as Notepad or Microsoft Word) on the host PC. When you scan
the [Dump Settings] barcode, the settings of the scanner will appear within the text editor
application as one or several ASCII string(s). Use any barcode printing software, select the
Code 39 symbology, and use the string(s) to generate bar code labels. Use the batch setup
labels to duplicate these settings to the other scanners.
EXAMPLE:
1. PROJECTASSIGNMENTS:
1.1 Beep tune: BEEP LOW -- HIGH
1.2 Caps Lock Mode: CAPSLOCK ON (FIXED).
1.3 Reading Mode: CONTINUOUS AUTO OFF.
2. SETTING PROCEDURE:
1.1 Scan BEEP LOW – HIGH. (GROUP 3).
1.2 Scan CAPSLOCK ON (FIXED). (GROUP 3)
1.3 Scan CONTINUOUS AUTO OFF. (GROUP 2)
3. All parameters will be converted to alphanumeric characters and shown on the monitor.

4. Print the results shown on the monitor as bar codes with a bar code printer. The bar codes
should be in the Code 39 symbology.
5. Scan these labels with any of the scanners you wish to configure similarly to the master.
Be sure to scan from the first row to the second row and so on sequentially, top to bottom.
CORRECT SETTING
WRONG SETTING
Wrong Setting: The string “…" consists of 4
Dots, located at the beginning of second
rows. Do not break the "…" into multiple
strings.
Wrong Setting: The string lengths in the
second and third rows do not match the
length requirements because rows should
be in lengths that are multiples of 4.
Wrong Setting because you added "…" after .A017$.
The .A017$ is a FIXED parameter required for setup.
It is an uneditable parameter. Do not add, delete, or
rearrange data from the FIRST row.
 Only the settings that are different from the default values will be dumped.
 The settings can be dumped to either a PC or terminal, if the Device Types of the PC or
terminal match that of the scanner. The previous example of “Keyboardless Wedge” as
Device Type is equivalent to a PC/AT interface, so you cannot dump the scanner settings
to a system that does not support a PC/AT keyboard interface.
The following label dumps the settings to a PC/AT regardless of the type of device that
has been chosen on the scanner.
Dump Settings on PC_AT

 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:
You cannot delete any character from or add any character to the strings and the first
three characters ("...") must be present in the first string.
 All characters in dumped strings are uppercase. If you see lowercase characters in
dumped strings, change them to uppercase.
