INTRODUCTION

Product Overview

Honeywell’s MS9500 Voyager™ series of hand-held (single-line) laser scanners offers the user an aggressive solution for scanning all standard 1D bar codes including GS1 DataBar™ (RSS) bar codes. The MS9500 series is equipped with both in-stand and out-of-stand operation enabling hand-held or fixed projection scanning. The MS9520 Voyager model includes all of the same features as the MS9540 VoyagerCG™ model, with the exception of Honeywell’s patented CodeGate™ technology.

The MS9540, VoyagerCG incorporates Honeywell’s patented auto-trigger and CodeGate button feature. When a bar code is place in the scanner’s IR range, the auto-trigger activates the laser enabling the user to align the visible laser line over the bar code selected for scanning. The user can then press the CodeGate button, to transmit the data to the host system. When the MS9540 is placed in the stand the CodeGate button feature will automatically deactivating for hands free operation.

Some additional key product features for the MS9500 series include:

•Auto-trigger operation and auto-stand detect

•CodeGate data transmission technology (MS9540 only)

•Flash – upgradeable firmware

•Easy configuration with MetroSelect™ bar codes and MetroSet™2 Windows® compatible software

•Support for common interfaces including USB (see chart below)

INTRODUCTION

Disconnecting the PowerLink Cable

Before removing the cable from the scanner, Honeywell recommends that the power on the host system is off and the power supply has been disconnected from the PowerLink cable.

Figure 2.

1.Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the top of the unit near the bottom of the scanner.

2.Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape shown above.

3.Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic pin) into the small ‘pin-hole’.

4.There will be an audible click when the connector lock releases. Pull gently on the strain-relief of the PowerLink cable to separate the cable from the scanner.

Connecting the PowerLink Cable

Important: If the PowerLink cable is not fully latched, the unit can power intermittently.

Figure 3.

Figure 4.

INTRODUCTION

Labels

Every scanner has labels and molded text located on the underside of the unit. The labels and text contain important information such as the unit’s date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. Figure 5 provides examples of the labels and the molded text.

Figure 5 . Molded Text and Label Examples

Caution:

To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.

To maintain compliance with standard CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and norm EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

Maintenance

Smudges and dirt on the unit's window can interfere with the unit's performance. If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean.

If the unit's case requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not contain strong oxidizing chemicals. Strong cleaning agents may discolor or damage the unit's exterior.

INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM

RS232, Laser Emulation, and Light Pen Emulation

1.Turn off the host system.

2.Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the scanner. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages.

If the scanner is receiving power from the host system, skip to step #5.

3.Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable.

4.Verify the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC outlet. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet. The outlet should be near the equipment and easily accessible.

5.Connect the PowerLink cable to

the proper port on the host system.	Figure 6.
6. Turn on the host system.

Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee that scanned information will be communicated properly to the host system. Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide or MetroSet2’s help files for instructions on changing the scanner’s factory default configuration. The scanner and host system must use the same communication protocols.

All MS95x0-00 scanners leave the factory with the Laser Emulation

Mode enabled. If you recall defaults while re-configuring your scanner the Laser Emulation Mode will no longer be enabled. Refer to the

MS95x0-00 Laser Emulation Mode section of the MetroSelect Single-

Line Configuration Guide for information on enabling the Laser Emulation Mode.

See caution on page 6.

INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM

RS485

1.Turn off the host system.

2.Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the MVC cable into the 10-pin socket on the scanner. There will be an audible click when the connection is made.

3.Connect the other end of the MVC cable to the host device.

4.Turn on the host system.

Figure 7.

See caution on page 6.

7.Power up the host system.

The scanner and host system must use the same communication protocols.

Powering the MS95x0-47 directly from the computer can sometimes cause

interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers supply the same current through the keyboard port, explaining why a scanner may work on one computer and not another. Contact a Customer Service Representative if you require an external power supply.

See caution on page 6.
