DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE

It could be either one of two things, first of all will this unit scan any barcodes, or is it just one particular one it will not scan. If nothing scans and if no special programming was added to the scanner I would consider defaulting the unit back to factory settings. This procedure can be found in the manual that came with the scanner or here is a link http://www.honeywellaidc.com/CatalogDocuments/00-02544%20Rev%20K%202-11.pdf *** If you are going to do this please confirm that no special programming was done to this *** but normally they are ready to scan right out the box. So scan the barcode to "enter/exit configuration" the unit will beep tree times, then scan the "recall defaults" and the unit will beep once. Then scan the "enter/exit configuration" once more. Then try to scan a retail barcode. Hope this helps.

A standard PS2 to USB cable will not work with these scanners. You'll need to purchase cable # M009-3MA7C. They are expensive, so shop around for price.

connect the 2nd end of the scanner cable to a ps2 keyboard and reboot

scan "disable CR suffix" and "disable LF suffix" in your manual

If the kit number : MK5145-71a48 that you referenced above is correct, your scanner is single ended keyboard wedge, not usb. You would need to order the correct cable : MX009-3ma7c from Honeywell to connect via usb.

The scanner may need drivers, check for the brand name and go to their website to find the required drivers (if any.) If you already have drivers installed, try other USB ports.

scan the exit code it will close your scanner and then scan the recall default code (4 times) then scan the ENTER code your problem will be solve

that is the best place to gte the drivers the filkes you need depend on the operating system and the configuration you have for example usb drivers.

metrologic ms3780 scanner only scans a few times then stops..when you remove it from the base and reinstall it it works afew times then stops again?

are you using usb keyboards if so set the scanners to stand alone keyboard wedge you will find this in the manual. if this is not the case it could be that the scanner is set for a different keyboard type just set the scanner for keyboard wedge emulation. hope this helps Pete
