Metrologic's MS1690 Focus® series of high performance hand-held area imaging bar code scanners utilizes high-resolution CMOS imaging sensors for superior image quality. 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.

The MS1690 series provides an extended depth of field 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.

Decoding and functional capability of the unit is restricted through the use of license numbers provided by Metrologic. Units will not support key features such as, but not limited to, the ability to decode PDF, 2D or OCR fonts without the proper licenses. Desired licenses can be specified at the time of sale or call a Metrologic representative for more information. Standard models ship with the ability to read all 1D, PDF and 2D bar codes. OCR fonts are disabled by default and must be specifically requested at an additional cost.

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. There will be a faint ‘click’ when the lock is released. 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 Sample and Location

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, nonabrasive 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

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 scanner. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages.

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 verify 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. The scanner will start to initialize. All LEDs (yellow, white, and blue) will light for approximately two seconds then start to alternately flash. When the scanner has finished initializing the LEDs will stop flashing and the unit will beep three 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.

See power source caution statement located on page 6 of this manual.
