The MS1690 Focus is a high performance hand-held area imaging bar code scanner that utilizes high-resolution CMOS imaging sensors for superior image quality. Focus utilized Omniplanar, Inc.’s Swiftdecoder™ software, for reliable decoding of both 1D and 2D bar code symbologies. Sharp images can be captured and transmitted in a variety of outputs including: .jpg, .bmp, and .tiff.

Omnidirectional scanning capabilities and an extended depth of field width provides aggressive scanning of all standard 1D, RSS, PDF417, microPDF, Composite, Matrix and Postal Codes symbology types. Firmware updates are easily loaded via Flash ROM.

Focus provides an extended depth of field width and a built in object detection sensor (IR) that instantly turns on the scanner when an object is presented within the scanner’s field of view. Automatic in-stand detection switches the scanner to a “presentation” mode for convenient in-stand scanning. Focus incorporates Metrologic’s patented CodeGate® technology for accurate menu style scanning and on command data transmission.

THE POWERLINK CABLE

CONNECTING

Important: If the PowerLink cable is not fully ‘latched’ the unit can

power intermittently.

Figure 2. Figure 3.

DISCONNECTING

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

Figure 4. Releasing the PowerLink Cable

1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the handle of the unit near the cable.

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. You will here a faint ‘click’. Pull gently on the strain-relief of the PowerLink cable to remove the cable from the unit.

INTRODUCTION

Labels

Each scanner has a label located on the underside of the head. This label provides the unit’s model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. The following figure gives an example of the label and its location.

Figure 5. Label Samples and Location

Maintenance

Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning.

1. Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth.

2. Gently wipe the scanner window.

INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM

RS232 MS1690-14

1. Turn off the host device.

2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the Focus. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made.

3. Connect the 9-pin D-type connector of the communication cable to the proper COM port of the host device.

4. Plug the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable.

Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet. The outlet must be located near the equipment and be easily accessible.

5. Connect AC power to the transformer.

6. Focus will start to initialize. All LEDs (yellow, white, and blue) will light for approximately 2 seconds then start to alternately flash. When the scanner has finished initializing the LEDs will stop flashing and the unit will beep 3 times indicating that the scanner is ready for use.

7. Turn on the host device.

Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee that scanned information will be communicated properly to the host system. The scanner is shipped from the factory configured with default settings. Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544) or MetroSet2’s help files for instructions on changing the scanner’s configuration. In addition, please check that the scanner and host system are using the same communication protocol.

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.

To maintain compliance with standard CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-00/UL 60950 and norm EN/IEC 60950, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
