SCANNEROPERATION
Audible Indicators
When the MS3780 is in operation, it can provide 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). For instruction on how
to change the tone of the beeper, refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide
(00-02407).
OneBeep
When the scanner first receives power; the white LED will flash, one blue LED
will turn on and the scanner will emit a beep (the white LED will remain on for the duration of the beep). The scanner is now ready to scan.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and
the scanner will emit one beep (if configured to do so). If the scanner does not
emit one beep and the white light does not flash, then the bar code has not been
successfully read.
Razzberry Tone
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 17.
Three Beeps- during operation
When placing the scanner in configuration mode, the white and blue LEDs will
flash while the scanner emits three beeps. The white and blue LEDs will
continue to flash until the unit exits the configuration mode. Upon exiting the
configuration mode, the scanner will emit three beeps and the white LED will stop
flashing.
When configured, 3 beeps can also indicate a communications timeout during
normal scanning mode.
When using one-code-programming, the scanner will emit three beeps:
the current selected tone, followed by a short pause then a high tone and a low
tone. This tells the user that the single code configuration has successfully
configured the scanner.
Three Beeps- on power up
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 17.
15
SCANNEROPERATION
Visual Indicators
There are four LEDs located on the top of the MS3780. When the scanner is on,
the flashing or constant illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the
current scan and the scanner.
Figure 18. LED Indicators
No LEDs
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the
host or transformer. They are also not illuminated when all lasers are turned off
for any reason.
Steady Blue Single-Line LED
Indicates the laser is active and the scanner is in Single-Line Mode.
The blue LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.
Steady Blue Omni LED
Indicates the laser is active and the scanner is in the Omnidirectionsl Mode.
The blue LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.
Steady Blue Single-Line or Omni LED and a Single White LED Flash
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and
the scanner will beep once. If the white LED does not flash or the scanner does
not beep, then the bar code has not been successfully read.
Steady White and Blue Single-Line or Omni LED
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.
Alternate Flashing of Both Blue LEDs and the White LED
This indicates the scanner is in program mode. A razzberry tone indicates that
an invalid bar code has been scanned in this mode.
Steady Amber LED
Indicates that CodeGate is not active (in-stand default).

UPGRADINGTHEFLASHROMFIRMWARE
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
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 MS3780, regardless of the version number or communication protocol, can
be upgraded. In other words, all RS232 (-41), keyboard wedge (-47), light pen
(-41), OCIA (-9), IBM 468X/469X (-11), low speed USB (-38), and integrated 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” – both the blue and white LEDs will be on.
The user can follow the progress of the upgrade by watching the screen for
details. When the upgrade is complete, the scanner will respond with its normal
one beep on power up. If two beeps occur, the scanner did not upgrade
properly. Contact a Metrologic service representative for additional assistance.

LASERANDPRODUCTSAFETY
Caution
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure. Under no circumstances should the
customer attempt to service the laser scanner. Never attempt to look at the laser 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 laser light exposure. The use of
optical instruments with the laser 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 luz de láser peligrosa. Bajo ninguna
circunstancia el usuario deberá realizar el mantenimiento del láser del escáner. Ni intentar
mirar al haz del láser incluso cuando este no esté operativo. Tampoco deberá abrir el
escáner para examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede conllevar una exposición peligrosa a
la luz de láser. El uso de instrumentos ópticos con el equipo láser 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 le laser. Ne regardez jamais directement le rayon laser, 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 une rayonnement laser qú êst hazardous. L'emploi
d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement laser augmente le risque d'endommagement de
la vision.
Achtung
Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder
Verfahren kann eine gefährliche Laserstrahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde sollte unter keinen
Umständen versuchen, den Laser-Scanner selbst zu warten. Sehen Sie niemals in den
Laserstrahl, 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 Laserstrahlung 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 esposizioni a raggi laser rischiose. Il cliente non
deve assolutamente tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner laser. Non guardate mai il
raggio laser, anche se credete che lo scanner non sia attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per
guardare dentro l’apparecchio. Facendolo potete esporVi ad una esposizione laser
rischiosa. L’uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati con raggi laser, aumenta il rischio di
danni alla vista.
