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.

AudibleIndicators
When the MS7580 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 the unit will beep once and
the white LED will flash once indicating data has been transmitted
successfully. The blue LED will return to the low intensity state if no other
objects are presented in the active scan area.
If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not flash, then the
bar code has not been successfully read.

Three Beeps - At Power Up
When the MS7580 first receives power it will start an initialization sequence.
The white and blue LEDs will alternately fade on and off for approximately 3
seconds. When the scanner has finished initializing the white LED will flash
three times while simultaneously beeping three times to indicate 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.

VisualIndicators
The scanner has blue and white LED
indicators surrounding the button on the
top of the unit. When the scanner is on,
the intensity of the LED and the flashing or
stationary activity of the LEDs, indicates
the status of the current scan and the
diagnostic scanner.
No LEDs are Illuminated
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the
host or transformer.
Steady Low Intensity Blue
The scanner is in stand-by mode. Present a bar code to the scanner and the
blue LED will switch to a high intensity blue when the IR detects the object.
Steady High Intensity Blue
The high intensity blue LED is illuminated when the scanner is active and
attempting to decode a barcode.
Single White Flash
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code the unit will beep once and
the white LED will flash once indicating data has been transmitted
successfully. The blue LED will return to the low intensity state if no other
objects are presented in the active scan area.
If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not flash, 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.
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.
O
PERATION
After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host
device. Some communication modes require that the host inform the

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). Non
guardate mai il raggio LED (d. emettitore di luce), anche se credete che lo scanner non sia
attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per guardare dentro l'apparecchio. Facendolo potete esporVi
ad una radiazione rischiosa. L'uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati con raggi LED (d. emettitori
di luce), aumenta il rischio di danni alla vista.
