Introducing the MS810

The Unitech MS810 1D laser bar code scanner combines the best scanning

performance and value. The device provides an accurate, easy, and fast method of

data entry and data storage for computerized information systems. It is easy to install

and does not require software or drivers to operate.

All the operating parameters are programmed by the bar code programming menu

and stored in non-volatile RAM which can retain the settings after power is turned off.

The MS810 is a powerful and reliable handheld scanner without compromise. It is

compatible with USB and K/B interfaces, and numerous congurations.

Introduction

Chapter 1

A Tour of the MS810

The following section describes the main components and features of the MR810.

No. Component Description

1. LED (Blue/Red) LED light indicates a proper decode.

2. Speaker Speaker beeps to indicate a proper decode.

3. Handle Ergonomic handle allows for an easy grip.

4. Trigger Trigger device allows for manual scanning.

5. Exit Window A scratch-resistant surface for high-quality

scans.

NOTE: When a barcode is successfully decoded, the blue LED light on the back of

the scanner will turn on and off, and the scanner will beep once. If the barcode is

not successfully read, the LED will show red and the beep will not sound.

Decode Zone

The Decode Zone is based on Symbol’s Standard Code 39 PCS=0.9 lable in a 600 lux

environment.

NOTE: Do not hold the scanner directly over a barcode at 90˚. Scanning light

bounces directly back into the scanner from the barcode label is known as

specular reection which will create a “dead zone” where decoding is difcult.

Practice a few times to nd what range of angles works best.

USB Cable Connection

Insert the plug on the free end of the USB Communications Cable into any open USB

port on the host as described below.

Reset Conguration to Defaults

If you are unsure of the scanner

conguration or have scanned the

incorrect codes, please scan the “Reset

Conguration to Defaults” barcode.

This will reset the scanner to its factory

defaults settings in USB interface.

Chapter 2

PS/2 (K/B) Cable Connection

Reset Conguration to Defaults

If you are unsure of the scanner

conguration or have scanned the

incorrect codes, please scan the “Reset

Conguration to Defaults” barcode.

This will reset the scanner to its factory

defaults settings in PS/2 interface.

To Operate the MS810

1. Be sure that Host computer is turned OFF.

2. Ensure that all connections are secure.

3. Turn on your host computer and operate the scanner in Notepad, Word or your

preferred software.

4. Aim the scanner at a barcode, ensure that the scanner is in trigger mode (default),

and press the trigger.

5. On successful decode, the blue LED light will turn on and off. The scanner will beep

once.

Maintenance

Cleaning the scan window is the only maintenance required. A dirty window may

affect scanning accuracy. Wipe the scanner window gently with a lens tissue or other

material suitable for cleaning optical material. Do not spray water or other cleaning

liquids directly onto the window.
