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.

activation range and automatically turns on linear illumination.

2. Aim the scanner’s line of light

over the bar code.

3. Pull the trigger to initiate scanning.

The scanner’s light output will start to flash as it attempts to scan the bar code.

If the trigger is released the scanner will stop trying to scan.

4. When scanner successfully reads the

bar code it will beep once, the white LED will flash and the decoded data will be transmitted to the host.

Figure 14. CodeGate, Out-of-Stand

Presentation, In-Stand

1. The IR detects an object in the IR activation range and the scanner’s

light output automatically starts to flash as it attempts to scan the bar code.

2. The scanner continuously attempts to scan the bar code until either it

succeeds or the bar code is removed from the scanner’s field of view.

3. When scanner successfully reads the bar code it will beep once, the

white LED will flash and the decoded data will be transmitted to the host.

* For additional configurable modes of operation, please refer to the MS1690

Focus Supplemental Configuration Guide (

MLPN 00-02065).

SCANNER OPERATION

Audible Indicators

When the Focus is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide, help files.

One Beep When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the

white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.

If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not turn on, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

MLPN 00-02544 or MetroSet2’s

Short Razzberry Tone

This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 18).

Long Razzberry Tone

This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 18).

Three Beeps - At Power Up

When Focus first receives power it will start an initialization sequence. 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.

Three Beeps - Configuration Mode

When entering configuration mode, the white LED will flash while the scanner simultaneously beeps three times. The white and blue LEDs will continue to flash while in this mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner will beep three times, and the LEDs will stop flashing.

When configured, 3 beeps can also indicate a communications timeout during normal scanning mode.

When using single-code-configuring, the scanner will beep three times: a normal tone followed by a short pause, a high tone and then a low tone. This indicates that the single configuration bar code has successfully configured the scanner.

16

SCANNER OPERATION

Visual Indicators

The MS1690 has three LED indicators (yellow, white and blue) located on the top of the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner.

No LEDs are Illuminated

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.

The scanner is in stand-by mode. Present a bar code to the scanner and the blue LED will turn on when the IR detects the object.

Steady Yellow

The yellow LED is illuminated when the scanner is in the stand.

Steady Blue

The blue LED is illuminated when the scanner is active and linear illumination is on or when the scanner is attempting to decode a barcode.

Steady Blue and Single White Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.

If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not turn on, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Steady White

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.

After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. Some communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information, the scanner’s white LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted.

Alternating Flashing of Blue and White

This indicates the scanner is in configuration mode. A short razzberry tone indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned while in this mode.

Flashing Blue

The blue LED will flash if the trigger is pressed while the scanner is in the in-stand presentation mode. The blue LED will stop flashing after a brief period of time. .

DEFAULT SETTINGS – COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS

Many functions of the scanner can be “configured” – that is, enabled or disabled. The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed to a set of default conditions. The default parameter of the scanner has an asterisk (*) in the charts on the following pages. If an asterisk is not in the default column then the default setting is OFF or DISABLED. Every interface does not support every parameter. If the interface supports a parameter listed in the charts on the following pages, a check mark (9) will appear.

CONFIGURATION MODES

The MS1690 Focus Series has three modes of configuration.

• Bar Codes The MS1690 can be configured by scanning the bar codes included in the Metrologic Single-Line Configuration Guide ( can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s website (www.metrologic.com).

• MetroSet2 This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. This program can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’ website (www.metrologic.com) or set-up disks can be ordered by calling 1-800-ID-METRO.

• Serial Programming This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications. This mode gives the end-user the ability to send a series of commands using the serial port of the host system. The commands are equivalent to the numerical values of the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide (

MLPN 00-02544).

MLPN 00-02544). This manual

UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE

The MetroSet2 program is a functional component of Metrologic’s new line of Flash- based scanners. This program allows the user of a Metrologic scanner to quickly upgrade to a new or custom version of firmware. It requires the use of a personal computer running Windows 95 or greater and the use of a serial port. The user merely connects the scanner to a serial port on the PC, launches the MetroSet2 program, and blasts off to new software upgrades.

Each MS1690, regardless of the version number or communication protocol, can be upgraded. In other words, all RS232 (-14), keyboard wedge (-47), IBM 468X/469X (-11), low speed USB (-38), and full speed USB (-40) units can be upgraded. To upgrade all units, a power supply and PowerLink cable (

MLPN 54-54014) are required.

RS232 units can be upgraded using the standard PowerLink cable (

MLPN 53-53xxx-3).

The program guides the user with its simplistic one click approach. The user must first select the file. Once the file is selected and verified, the scanner is ready to be upgraded. Press the “Flash Scanner” button to upgrade the scanner. The unit will go into a “flash mode” – the blue and white LEDs will be flashing alternately. The user can follow the progress of the upgrade by watching the screen for details. When the upgrade is complete, the scanner will reset itself. If a razz/beep occurs, the scanner did not upgrade properly. Contact a Metrologic service representative for additional assistance.

MetroSet2 incorporates all functions that were previously in Meteor.

PRODUCT SAFETY

Caution

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Under no circumstances should the customer attempt to service the LED scanner. Never attempt to look at the LED beam, even if the scanner appears to be nonfunctional. Never open the scanner in an attempt to look into the device. Doing so could result in hazardous radiation exposure. The use of optical instruments with the LED equipment will increase eye hazard.

Atención

La modificación de los procedimientos, o la utilización de controles o ajustes distintos de los especificados aquí, pueden provocar una exposición de luz brillante peligrosa. Bajo ninguna circunstancia el usuario deberá realizar el mantenimiento del LED (Diodo Emisor de Luz) del lector. Ni intentar mirar al haz del LED incluso cuando este no esté operativo. Tampoco deberá abrir el lector para examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede conllevar una exposición peligrosa a la luz del LED. El uso de instrumentos ópticos con el equipo LED puede incrementar el riesgo para la vista.

Attention

L'emploi de commandes, réglages ou procédés autres que ceux décrits ici peut entraîner de graves irradiations. Le client ne doit en aucun cas essayer d'entretenir lui-même le scanner ou la LED. Ne regardez jamais directement le rayon LED, même si vous croyez que le scanner est inactif. N'ouvrez jamais le scanner pour regarder dans l'appareil. Ce faisant, vous vous exposez à un risque d’irradiation. L'emploi d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement à LED augmente le risque d'endommagement de la vision.

Achtung

Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder Verfahren kann eine gefährliche Licht emittierender Dioden strahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde sollte unter keinen Umständen versuchen, den Licht emittierender Dioden-Scanner selbst zu warten. Sehen Sie niemals in den Licht emittierender Diodenstrahl, selbst wenn Sie glauben, daß der Scanner nicht aktiv ist. Öffnen Sie niemals den Scanner, um in das Gerät hineinzusehen. Wenn Sie dies tun, können Sie sich einer gefährlichen Licht emittierender Diodenstrahlung aussetzen. Der Einsatz optischer Geräte mit dieser Laserausrüstung erhöht das Risiko einer Sehschädigung.

Attenzione L'utilizzo di sistemi di controllo, di regolazioni o di procedimenti diversi da quelli descritti nel presente Manuale può provocare delle rischiose esposizioni radiattive. Il cliente non deve assolutamente tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner LED (o diodo emettitore di luce).
