AUDIBLE INDICATORS

When the MS7220 scanner 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, use the Multi-Function Button or refer to the
MetroSelect

®

Programming Guide (MLPN 00-02407 or 00-02561).

One Beep

When the scanner first receives power, the green LED will turn
on, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once.
(The red 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 red LED
will flash and the scanner beeps once (if programmed to do
so). If the scanner does not beep once and the red light does
not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Razzberry Tone

This is a failure indicator. Refer to failure modes page 16.

Three Beeps - during operation

When placing the scanner in program mode, the red LED will
flash while the scanner simultaneously beeps three times. The
red and green LEDs will continue to flash until the unit exits
program mode. Upon exiting program mode, the scanner will
beep three times and the red 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 beep
three times (the current selected tone), followed by a short
pause, a high tone and a low tone. This tells the user that the
single configuration bar code has successfully configured the
scanner.

Three beeps will also occur during a manual adjustment of the
beeper tone. With each short depression of the Multi-Function
Button, the new tone will be heard, followed by a short pause
then two more of the new current tones.

Three Beeps - on power up

This is a failure indicator. Refer to failure modes page 16.

15

FAILURE MODES

Flashing Green and One Razzberry Tone

This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser
subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair at an
authorized service center.

Flashing Red and Green and Two Razzberry Tones

This indicates the scanner has experienced a motor
failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service
center.

Continuous Razzberry Tone with both LEDs off

If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous
razzberry tone, then the scanner has an electronic failure.
Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center.

16

Three Beeps - on power up

If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up then, the
nonvolatile memory that holds the scanner configuration
has failed. Return the unit for repair at an authorized
service center.

VISUAL INDICATORS

There is a red LED and a green LED on the front of the MS7220. When the
scanner is on, the flashing or constant illumination of the LEDs indicates the
status of the current scan and the scanner.

No Red or Green LED

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

Steady Green

When the laser is active, the green LED is illuminated. The
green LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.

During the power save mode, the laser will turn on and off.
During this period, the green LED remains illuminated.

Steady Green and Single Red Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED
will flash and the scanner will beep once. If the red LED does
not flash or the scanner does not beep once, then the bar code
has not been successfully read.

Steady Green and Steady Red

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 red LED will
remain on until the data can be transmitted.

Flashing Green then Flashing Red

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

or

If the unit is in sleep mode, each LED will flash once every 15
seconds.

Steady Red, Green off

This indicates the scanner may be waiting for communication
from the host.

17

LABELS

Each scanner has a label on the back of the unit. The label contains
information such as the model number, date of manufacture, and the serial
number. Additional CE and caution information has been molded into the
back of the case. The following is an example of the back of the case with
the label and molded text.

Figure 9: Back view of the case.

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.

RS232 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM

If an RS232 scanner is not communicating with your IBM compatible PC,
key in the following BASIC program to test that the communication port
and scanner are working. This program is for demonstration purposes
only. It is only intended to prove that cabling is correct, the com port is
working, and the scanner is working. If the bar code data displays on the
screen while using this program, it only demonstrates that the hardware
interface and scanner are working. At this point, investigate whether the
application software and the scanner configuration match. If the
application does not support RS-232 scanners, a software wedge
program that will take RS-232 data and place it into a keyboard buffer
may be needed. This program tells the PC to ignore RTS-CTS, Data Set
Ready (DSR) and Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signals. If the
demonstration program works and yours still does not, jumper RTS to
CTS and Data Terminal Reading (DTR) to DCD and DSR on the back of
your PC.
