THE MS6130 HAND HELD BAR CODE SCANNER

MS6130 Hand Held Bar Code Scanners are wireless scanners with a
mobility range of up to 30 feet from the receiver. When not in use, the
scanner rests in a universal-charging stand. The scanner will be fully
charged in 2 hours when not scanning in the stand. A fully charged MS6130
can provide up to 8 hours of wireless, hand-held scanning. After dormant
periods, the scanner is programmed to enter a timeout mode that will extend
the battery life. There is a reactivation switch conveniently located on the
side of the scanner to turn the unit back on. The scanner has a replaceable
battery pack for added reliability and convenience for your scanning
application.

Metrologic’s scanner uses wirele ss data communication to transfer
information to the host. The MS6130 may be used with Metrologic’s MX003
Series Scanner Interfaces to provide the short range, one-way
communication link between the scanner and an RS-232, Keyboard Wedge
or Light Pen host device.

The MS6130 uses Metrologic’s patented Infrared Object Sensor for
triggerless operation. The scanner, after a specified time, will enter a
standby mode where the VLD and motor will shut off. Simply present an
object in front of the scanner window, the Infrared Sensor will reactivate the
scanner and the unit will be ready to scan.

To indicate the status of the scanner, the MS6130 uses a green and red
LED located on the top of the scanner. By understanding the flashes of the
LED, you can determine a successful read, laser status, low battery power,
sleep mode, and program mode. There are audible indicators on the
scanner as well. The scanner will beep; one, two or three times to indicate
successful power up or scan, low battery, or program mode, respectively, or
give a razzberry tone; which indicates the scanner has failed diagnostics
upon power up.

In this manual, the MS6130 may be referred to as the scanner or transmitter.

MX003 SERIES SCANNER INTERFACES

Metrologic’s MX003 Series Scanner Interfaces provide a short range, one­way wireless data communication link between a remote portable scanner
and an RS-232 or light pen host device. Specifically, Metrologic’s MS6130
Hand-Held Laser Scanners include a Liberty
Metrologic’s MS700i/MS720i series scanners, TECH series scanners may
be connected to a MX Series scanner interface. The “MX” scanner interface
includes a RF receiver and a digital interface board.

The MS6130 scanner provides two functions:

• Scans and decodes bar codes

• Transmits scanned data to the RF receiver or “MX”

When the “MX” interface is connected to a ScanPal
a portable data terminal (PDT), it provides two functions
(For example, refer to Figure 1):

• Performs the RF receiver function; for example, beeps to show it has
received data from the transmitter

• Communicates with the host device

In this manual, MX003 series scanner interfaces may be referred to as the
“MX”, “MX” interface or receiver. Suffix of the MX003 model designation will
vary due to country of usage.

the MCA.

3. Check the AC input requirements of the transformer to make sure the
voltage matches the AC outlet. The socket outlet should be near the
equipment and easily accessible.

4. Plug the transformer into the side of the MCA and the AC outlet.

5. Power up the host system.

CONNECTIONS OF THE MS700I/MS720I

“MX” TO THE HOST DEVICE

WITH

To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the
communication cable is secured to the host.

1. Turn off the host system.

2. Connect the 25-pin D-type connector on the MS700i/MS720i scanner’s
head cable to the communication cable. Connect the other end of the
communication cable to the host device. If the scanner will not receive
power from a transformer, skip to Step 5.

3. If the scanner will receive power from an external power source, check
the AC input requirements of the transformer to make sure the voltage
matches the AC outlet. The socket-outlet should be near the equipment
and easily accessible.

4. Plug the transformer into the side of the female D-type connector
located on the communication cable. Plug the transformer into the AC
outlet to supply power to the scanner.

5. Power up the host system.

6. Attach the “MX” to the MS700i/MS720i scanner via the LSO cable that
terminates to a 10-pin modular connector.

Note: When the MS700i/MS720i scanner firs t rec eives po wer, th e

LEDs will flash and then the scanner will beep once. After the
scanner performs this startup sequence, the green LED will remain
on for a specified time showing that the laser is on.

Refer to the MS700i and MS720i Laser Bar Code Projection
Scanner Installation and User’s Guide for information on how to
operate the scanner.

To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected
to the unit must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low

CONFIGURATION OF THE MS700I/MS720I WITH “MX”

To perform matching procedure refer to page 18.
Once the transmitter is assigned an ID number, configure the S700i/MS720i

to accept RF communication. Although the changes made in this section

effect the receiver, the MS6130 performs all scanning.

1. Scan the following bar code to enter the receiver’s program mode.
(The MS700i/MS720i will beep three times):

Enter/Exit Program Mode for the Receiver

12345 66666

0

2. Enable the RF interface by scanning the following bar codes in order:

R01

7

LP1

HH1

3. Exit program mode by scanning the bar code in Step 1 again.

4. Proceed to the procedure on the next page.

CONFIGURATION OF THE MS700I/MS720I WITH “MX”

TO THE HOST SYSTEM

To perform matching procedure refer to page 18.
Before the MS700i/MS720i scanner ships from the factory, the factory

programs the scanner to a group of default settings noted in the
ScanSelect™ Scanner Programming Guide. An asterisk marks each default
setting. The asterisk appears before the brief definition located near the bar
code. Once RF communication establishes, change the default settings of
your scanner to meet your individual scanning needs or your host system’s
communication requirements. Modify the scanner's settings by entering the
program mode and scanning the appropriate bar codes that appear in the
ScanSelect Scanner Programming Guide.

Note: When the Load Defaults bar code in the ScanSelect Scanner

Programming Guide is chosen, it will automatically disable the RF
low speed option. For the MS6130 to communicate to the
MS700i/MS720i scanner, re-enable the RF Low Speed Option (refer
to the procedure above).

CONFIGURATION OF THE “MX” TO THE SCANPAL

®

DATA COLLECTOR

To perform matching procedure refer to page 18.
The RS-232 parameters marked with an asterisk ( * ) in the charts are the

default settings of the “MX”. The charts are in the Default Settings of the
MS6130 and “MX” Receiver section of this guide. To communicate with
each other properly, the “MX” and ScanPal must have matching RS-232
parameters. However, the Enter/Exit Program Mode bar code in the
MS4120 Programming Guide will not cause your “MX” to enter or exit
program mode. Scan the Enter/Exit Program Mode for the Receiver bar
code in the following procedure.

Before completing RF communication, program the ScanPal to the same
settings as the IBM® PC XT, AT or PS/2 compatible computer. Once
completed and the receiver and MS6130 have the same assigned ID
number, configure the “MX” to the same settings as ScanPal.

1. Program the ScanPal to the same settings as the PC.
(Refer to the Programming the ScanPal section in the ScanPal
Collector Installation and User’s Guide)

2. Scan the following bar code to enter program mode.
(The “MX” receiver will beep three times):

Enter/Exit Program Mode for the Receiver

12345 66666

0

7

3. Scan the appropriate communication options in the MS4120
Programming Guide.

4. Exit program mode by scanning the bar code in Step 1 again.
Note: Scan the Enter/Exit Program Mode for the Receiver bar

code and exit program mode if the PC uses the same
parameters as the default settings of ScanPal.

Default to ScanPal Communication Parameters
