Installation Notes
Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC
does not guarantee that scanned information will
appear at the PC. A software driver and correct
configuration settings are also required for proper
communications to occur.
Powering the MS5145 directly from the host device
can sometimes cause interference with the operation
of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers
supply the same current. For this reason, using an
external power supply is recommended. For additional
information, contact a customer service representative.
All MS5145-00 scanners leave the factory with the
Laser Emulation Mode enabled. If recall defaults is
scanned while re-configuring the scanner the Laser
Emulation Mode will no longer be enabled. Refer to
the MS5145-00 Laser Emulation Mode section of the
MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide for in-
formation on enabling the Laser Emulation Mode.
