AUDIBLE INDICATORS

When the MS7600 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) plus three volume
settings. To change the tone or volume, refer to the Changing the Beeper Tone
& Volume section of this manual.

One Beep

When the scanner first receives power, the amber 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 21.

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
amber 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 - on power up
This is a failure indicator. Refer to failure modes page 21.

19

VISUAL INDICATORS

There is a red LED and amber LED on
the front of the MS7600. 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 Amber LED

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

Steady Amber

When the laser is active, the amber LED is
illuminated. The amber 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 amber LED
remains illuminated.

Steady Amber 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.

Figure 14: LEDs

Steady Amber 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 Amber 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, Amber off

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

20

FAILURE MODES

Figure 15: LEDs

Flashing Amber 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 Amber 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.

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.

21

CHANGING THE BEEPER TONE & VOLUME

Changing the Beeper Tone

Beeper tones may be programmed directly or incrementally using the following
bar code. The new tone will be heard followed by a short pause. Two more new
tones will be heard signifying the new setting has been stored in memory. The
silent (no beep) tone is also selectable.

Next Beep Tone

³999975

Changing the Beeper Volume

Volume levels may be programmed directly or incrementally using the following
bar code. The new volume will be heard followed by a short pause. Two more
tones will be heard signifying the new setting has been saved in memory. The
silent (no volume) tone is also selectable.

Next Volume

³999974

These volume control and beeper tone bar codes can also be found under the
Top plate of the scanner and in the MetroSelect Programming Guide.

Figure 13: Additional Beeper Tone and Volume Control Bar Codes.

POWER SAVE MODES AND IR DETECTION

The MS7600 has five programmable power save modes. Refer to the
MetroSelect Programming Guide for additional information on Power Save
Modes.

1. Blink Power Save Mode:
“Blinks” the laser OFF & ON after a programmed period of non-use.

When the scanner recognizes a bar code it will exit the Blink mode.

2. Laser Off Power Save Mode:
Turns the laser OFF after a programmed period of non-use. The motor
continues to spin allowing for a faster “wake” up time.

Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the Laser
Off power save mode (see figure 16).

3. Laser & Motor Off Power Save Mode:
Turns the laser and motor OFF after a programmed period of non-use.

Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the power
save mode (see figure 16). This mode’s “wake” time is slightly longer due to
the motor’s need to restart.

4. Dual Action Power Save Mode #1:
“Blinks” the laser OFF & ON after a programmed period of non-use turns the
laser and motor OFF at thirty-minute intervals.

Example:

Last

Scan

Laser starts

“Blinking”

Laser & Motor

turns OFF

If the power save timeout
is set to 15 minutes.

Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the power
save mode (see figure 16).

5. Dual Action Power Save Mode #2 (Default):
Turns the laser OFF after a programmed period of non-use then turns the
motor OFF after thirty-minute intervals.

Example:

Last

Scan

Laser turns

OFF

Motor turns

If the power save timeout
is set to 15 minutes.

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.
