INTRODUCTION
Product Overview
The MS7580 Genesis™ is a high performance presentation area imaging bar
code scanner that utilizes high-resolution CMOS imaging sensors for superior
image quality. Genesis utilizes 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 excellent motion tolerance provides
aggressive scanning of all standard 1D, GS1 DataBar™ (RSS), PDF417,
microPDF, Composite, Matrix and Postal Codes symbology types. Firmware
updates are easily loaded into Flash memory.
The MS7580 provides an extended scan volume 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.
Genesis™ Interface Support
Interfaces supported include:
• RS232
MS7580 – 118
• RS485
• USB
• Keyboard Wedge
USB is configurable for Keyboard Emulation Mode, Bi-Directional Serial Emulation
Mode or IBM OEM. The default USB setting is Keyboard Emulation Mode
Standard models ship with the ability to read all 1D, PDF and 2D bar
codes. Decoding and functional capability is limited and units will not
support key features including, but not limited to, the ability to decode
PDF, 2D or OCR fonts without proper limited use licenses provided
by Metrologic. If you wish to purchase a limited license for one or
more of the key features not included in the standard unit, please
specify at the time of sale or otherwise contact a Metrologic
representative for more information.

Cable Installation and Removal
Installation
Important: If the cable is not fully ‘latched’ the unit may
power intermittently.
1. Insert the 10-pin RJ45 end of the cable into the socket on the MS7580.
There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages.
2. Gently pull on the cable strain relief to insure the cable is installed.
Before removing the cable from the unit, Metrologic recommends that the power
on the host system is off and the power supply has been disconnected from the
cable.
Figure 2.
Removal
Figure 3. Releasing the Cable
1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on 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 cable to remove the cable from the unit.

Labels
Each MS7580 has a label located near the top of the output window. This label
provides the unit’s model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and
caution information. Additional information has been molded into the underside
of the unit's case. The following figure gives an example of the label and the
molded text with their locations identified.
Figure 4. Label and Molded Text Samples
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.

1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end
of the VLink cable into the
10-pin socket on the MS7580.
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 12V power supply into the
power jack on the VLink 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 MS7580 will start to initialize. The white and blue LED will alternately
fade on and off for approximately three seconds. When the scanner has
finished initializing, the unit will flash the white LED three times while
simultaneously beeping three times. The low intensity blue LED will remain
turned on.
7. Turn on the host device.
The MS7580 requires 12V power to function for RS232 operation. Metrologic
recommends using the external power supply shipped with the MS7580.
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.
