SCANNER OPERATION

Configurable Primary and Secondary Scan Pattern Modes

There are two configurable scan pattern modes available with the MS3580.

• The primary scan pattern mode is the default scan pattern active when the scanner starts.

• The secondary scan pattern mode is activated by pressing the button located on the side of the scanner. This mode is also referred to as the button mode. For additional information on Quantum’s button modes and an example of each, please refer to Configurable Button Functions below.

The scanner returns to the primary scan pattern mode after a double click of the button or if the unit has not scanned a bar code for the duration of a pre-configured time limit.

Each pattern mode can be configured to use one of three scan patterns listed below. Please refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for information on changing the default scan pattern settings.

• all scan lines on (omnidirectional reading)

• single-line (menu reading)

• horizontal raster

If CodeGate is enabled, it will apply to the secondary pattern mode when scanning. For detailed information on CodeGate and the button refer to the Configurable Button Functions.

Configurable Button Functions

The button on the side of the MS3580 can be configured to function in one of four modes.

• Button Click Mode, with CodeGate Enabled (Default)

• Button Click Mode, with CodeGate Disabled

• Button Hold Mode, with CodeGate Enabled

• Button Hold Mode, with CodeGate Disabled

SCANNER OPERATION

Audible Indicators

When the MS3580 is in operation, it provides audible feedback to indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). For instructions on how to change the tone of the beeper, refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (00-02407).

One Beep

When the scanner first receives power the white LED will flash, the blue LED will turn on and the scanner will beep once (the white 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 white LED will flash and the scanner will emit a beep (if configured to do so). If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Razzberry Tone

This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 21.

Three Beeps - during operation

When placing the scanner in configuration mode, the white LED will flash while the scanner simultaneously beeps three times. The white and blue LEDs will continue to flash until the unit exits configuration mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner will beep three times and the white 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 Mode Indicators on page 21.

19

SCANNER OPERATION

Visual Indicators

The QuantumT is equipped with a blue and white LED that indicates the scanner’s state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation.

Figure 13. Speaker Location and LED Location

No LEDs

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. They are also not illuminated when the laser is turned off for any reason.

Steady Blue

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

Steady Blue and Single White Flash

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

Steady White and Blue

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

Alternating Blue and White Flashes

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

Steady White, Blue Off

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

20

SCANNER OPERATION

Failure Mode Indicators

Flashing Blue and One Razzberry Tone

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

Flashing Blue and White and Two Razzberry Tones

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

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 to an authorized service center for repair.

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 to an authorized service center for repair.

UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE

The MetroSet2 program is a functional component of Metrologic’s new line of Flash- based scanners. This program allows the user of a Metrologic scanner to quickly upgrade to a new or custom version of firmware. It requires the use of a personal computer running Windows 95 or greater and the use of a serial port. The user merely connects the scanner to a serial port on the PC, launches the MetroSet2 program, and blasts off to new software upgrades.

Each MS3580, regardless of the version number or communication protocol, can be upgraded. All RS232 (-41); keyboard wedge (-47); light pen (-41); OCIA (-9); IBM 468X/469X (-11); low speed USB (-38); integrated full speed USB (-40); and RS232 TTL, Laser Emulation (-104) units can be upgraded. To upgrade all units, a power supply and a PowerLink cable (

RS232 units can be upgraded using the standard PowerLink cable (

MLPN 54-54000x-3).

The program guides the user with its simplistic one click approach. The user must first select the file. Once the file is selected and verified, the scanner is ready to be upgraded. Press the “Flash Scanner” button to upgrade the scanner. The unit will go into a “flash mode” – both the blue and white LEDs will be on. The user can follow the progress of the upgrade by watching the screen for details. When the upgrade is complete, the scanner will respond with its normal one beep on power up. If two beeps occur, the scanner did not upgrade properly. Contact a Metrologic service representative for additional assistance.

MLPN 54-54014) are required.
