Product Overview
Metrologic's MS9500 Voyager® series of hand-held (single-line) laser scanners
offers the user an aggressive solution for scanning all standard 1D bar codes
including GS1 DataBar™ (RSS) bar codes. The MS9500 series is equipped with
both in-stand and out-of-stand operation enabling hand-held or fixed projection
scanning. The MS9520 Voyager model includes all of the same features as the
MS9540 VoyagerCG model, with the exception of Metrologic’s patented
CodeGate® technology.
The MS9540, VoyagerCG incorporates Metrologic’s patented auto-trigger and
CodeGate button feature. When a bar code is place in the scanner’s IR range,
the auto-trigger activates the laser enabling the user to align the visible laser line
over the bar code selected for scanning. The user can then press the CodeGate
button, to transmit the data to the host system. When the MS9540 is placed in
the stand the CodeGate button feature will automatically deactivating for hands
free operation.
Some additional key product features for the MS9500 series include:
• Auto-trigger operation and auto-stand detect
• CodeGate data transmission technology (MS9540 only)
• Flash – upgradeable firmware
®
• Easy configuration with MetroSelect
Windows
®
compatible software
bar codes and MetroSet®2
• Support for common interfaces including USB (see chart below)

NDICATORS
Audible
When the Voyager 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 beeper tone, refer
to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide or MetroSet2’s help files.
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 scanner is ready to scan.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and
the scanner will beep once.
Three Beeps
During Operation
When entering the configuration mode, the red* LED will flash while the
scanner simultaneously beeps three times.
When exiting the configuration mode, the scanner will beep three times and
the red LED will stop blinking.
Three beeps can also indicate a communication timeout during normal
scanning mode if the scanner is configured to give this indication.
During Start-up
This is a failure indicator. Refer to “Failure Modes” on page 19.
Three Beeps
When using the single-code-configuration method, the scanner will sound a
3-combination tone (a single beep then a short pause followed by, a high tone,
and a low tone). This beep sequence signals that the single configuration bar
code has successfully configured the scanner.
Razzberry Tone
On startup, this tone indicates a failure mode. Refer to “Failure Modes" on
page 19.
When in configuration mode, a short razzberry tone will sound if an invalid bar
code is scanned.
* In some custom units the standard green LED has been replaced with a blue LED and
the red LED has been replaced with a white LED.

Figure 29. LED Configuration
The MS9540 has three LED indicators located on the head of the scanner.
The MS9520 has two LED indicators located on the head of the scanner.
When the scanner is in operation, the flashing, or stationary activity of the LEDs
indicates the status of the scanner and the current scan.
All LEDs are Off
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the
host or transformer.
The scanner is in stand-by mode, and CodeGate is enabled. Present a bar
code to the scanner and the green LED will turn on when the laser turns on.
Steady Yellow (MS9540’s Only)
The CodeGate button is not active. If a bar code is in the scan field, the laser
will turn on. The bar code will be decoded and transmitted to the host
automatically.
Steady Green
When the laser is active, the green LED is illuminated. The green* LED will
remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated (default mode only).
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 (default mode
only).
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.
* In some custom units the standard green LED has been replaced with a blue LED and
the red LED has been replaced with a white LED.

Failure Modes
Razzberry Tone – On Start-Up
This indicates the scanner has experienced a flipper/motor failure.
Return the unit for repair to an authorized service center.
Continuous Razzberry Tone with all LEDs Off
If, upon power, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the
scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to
an authorized service center.
Three Beeps – on power up
If the scanner beeps three times on power up then the non-volatile memory
(NovRAM) that holds the scanner configuration has failed. If the scanner does
not respond after reconfiguring, return the scanner for repair to an authorized
service center.

ONFIGURATION MODES
The MS9500 Voyager has three modes of configuration.
• Bar Codes
Voyager or VoyagerCG can be configured by scanning the bar codes
located in the MetroSelect
(
MLPN
00-02544). This manual can be downloaded for FREE at
www.metrologic.com.
• MetroSet
®
2
This user-friendly Windows-based configuration software allows you to
simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. This software can be
downloaded for FREE at www.metrologic.com or set-up disks can be
ordered by calling 1-800-ID-METRO.
• Serial Configuration
This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications. This mode gives
the end-user the ability to send a series of commands using the serial port of
the host system. The commands are equivalent to the numerical values of
the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide
(
MLPN
00-02544).
How does Serial Configuration work?
1. Each command sent to the scanner is the ASCII representation of each
numeral in the configuration bar code. The entire numeric string is framed
with an ASCII [stx] and an ASCII [etx].
EXAMPLE #1
:
Command for Disabling Codabar
Command = [stx]100104[etx]
String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h
(All values are hexadecimal).
2. If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an
[ack].
3. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with
a [nak].
NOTE: If this occurs, the end-user must start over at the very beginning of
the configuration sequence. Re-transmitting the invalid command
will not work, the user must start over.
®
Single-Line Configuration Guide
20
C
ONFIGURATION MODES
4. During configuration, the motor and laser turn off. YOU CANNOT SCAN A
BAR CODE WHILE IN SERIAL CONFIGURATION MODE.
5. There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second timeout
occurs, the scanner will send a [nak] and you must start over.
6. To enter serial configuration mode, send the following command
[stx]999999[etx].
7. To exit serial configuration mode, send the following command
[stx]999999[etx], the scanner will respond with an [ack] followed by 3 beeps.
8. This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits

RESPONSE
The commands sent to the scanner do not include the small superscripted
‘3’ that you see in front of each bar code string in the MetroSelect manual.
THE ‘3’ SHOULD NOT BE SENT. IT IS A CODE TYPE DESIGNATION
ONLY!
As you will note for commands requiring additional bar codes to be scanned
(such as prefixes, suffixes, timeouts, etc.), simply send the code bytes in the
same order that you would normally scan the bar codes.

The following item is only relevant for RS232 and Serial Emulation USB interfaces.
The unit scans a
bar code, but
locks up after the
first scan and the
red* LED stays on.
The unit scans,
but the data
transmitted to the
host is incorrect.
The unit beeps at
some bar codes
but NOT for
others of the
same bar code

RS232 D
If an RS232 scanner is not communicating with an 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, the hardware
interface and scanner are working. The next step would be to investigate
whether the application software and the scanner configuration match.
If the application does not support RS232 scanners, a software wedge program
is available that will take RS232 data and place it into a keyboard buffer. This
program tells the PC to ignore RTS-CTS, Data Set Ready (DSR) and Data
Carrier Detect (DCD) signals. If the demonstration program works but the
customer's application software does not, jumper RTS to CTS and Data Terminal
Reading (DTR) to DCD and DSR on the back of your PC.

Laser
Laser Class 1: IEC 60825-1:1993+A1+A2,
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.
