Quick Start

1.) Plug in the scanner. When the MS7100 is ready to scan,

the red LED will turn on, then the green LED will flash

and the scanner will beep once. (the green LED will

remain on for the duration of the beep).

2.) The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed with

default settings. To configure the MS7100 scanner to meet

the host system’s specific needs, refer to the MetroSelect

Programming Guide (MLPN 2407) for instructions on

how to enter the program mode and to select the appro-

priate bar codes.

4

Operational Test

Metrologic recommends using the external power supply provided with the

scanner when operating the MS7100. When using power supplied by the host,

the host system should supply a minimum of 250 mA of current @ 5VDC.

Keyboard Wedge Scanners:

1. Connect the 10-pin modular plug of the PowerLink cable into the scanner

jack. Connect the other end of the PowerLink Y-type cable

to the PC. Connect the 5-pin female DIN side of the Y-type cable

into the keyboard connector on the PC and connect the 6-pin male

mini-DIN side into the PC.

2. Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the

voltage matches the AC outlet. Connect AC power to the transformer.

3. Listen for a single beep that indicates the scanner is ready for use.

(steady red LED and the green LED will flash once)

RS-232, Light Pen, OCIA and 46xx scanners:

1. Connect the 10-pin modular plug of the PowerLink cable into the scanner

jack. Connect the other end of the PowerLink cable (the 9-pin D-type

connector) to the PC.

2. Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the

voltage matches the AC outlet. Connect AC power to the transformer.

3. Listen for a single beep that indicates the scanner is ready for use.

(steady red LED and the green LED will flash once)

5

Scanner Installation: Powered by External Power Supply

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 60950.

1. Turn off the host system.

2. Make the necessary PowerLink cable connections to the scanner and

the host.

3. Connect the external transformer into the power jack on the Power Link

cable.

4. Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the

voltage matches the AC outlet. (the socket-outlet shall be installed near

the equipment and shall be easily accessible.) Connect AC power to the

transformer.

5. Turn on the host system.

NOTE:

a. When the scanner first receives power, the red LED will turn

on. Then the scanner will beep once and the green LED will

flash simultaneously.

b. Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not

guarantee that scanned information will appear at the PC. A

software driver and correct configuration setting are also

required for proper communication to occur.

6

Scanner Installation: Powered by Host Device

The MS7100 scanner interfaces terminate to a 10-pin modular jack. Connect

the 10-pin modular plug of the PowerLink cable into the jack then connect the

other end of the PowerLink cable to the host. Refer to Appendix C page 33 for

pin assignments.

1. Turn off the host system.

2. Make the necessary PowerLink cable connections to the scanner and the

host.

3. Turn on the host system.

NOTE:

a. When the scanner first receives power, the red LED will turn

on. Then the scanner will beep once and the green LED will

flash simultaneously.

b. Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not

guarantee that scanned information will appear at the PC. A

software driver and correct configuration setting are also

required for proper communication to occur.

Scanner Installation to the PC for the Scanner with Built-in

PC Keyboard Wedge Interface

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 60950.

1. The MS7100 Keyboard Wedge scanner interface terminates to a 10-pin

modular jack. Connect the 10-pin modular plug of the PowerLink cable

into the jack. The Power Link cable is terminated with a 5-pin DIN

female connector on one end, and a 6-pin mini DIN male on the other.

Metrologic will supply an adapter cable with a 5-pin DIN male

connector on one end and a 6-pin mini DIN female connector on the

other. According to the termination required, connect the appropriate

end of the adapter cable to the PowerLink cable, leaving the neces-sary

termination exposed for connecting to the keyboard and the keyboard

port on the PC. Refer to Appendix C page 35 for pin assignments.

2. If the PC is on, exit the application and turn the PC off.

3. Disconnect the keyboard from the PC.

4. Connect the scanner as described in step 1. Connect the external

transformer into the power jack on the Power Link cable. Refer to

Manufacturer’s Recommendation below. Connect AC power to the

transformer.

5. Power up the PC.

Manufacturer’s Recommendation:

Metrologic recommends the use of an external power supply with

MS7100-47 Keyboard Wedge applications. Powering the MS7100-47

directly from the com-puter keyboard connector could interfere with

the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers supply

the same current through the keyboard port, this explains why a scanner

would work on one computer and not another.

8

Green and Red LEDs: When the red LED is on, this

indicates that the laser is on. When the green LED flashes on,

the scanner has read a bar code successfully. When the green

light turns off, communication to the host is complete. The

LEDs are also used as diagnostic indicators and mode

indicators. Refer to pages 9-11 for details.

Audible Indicators

When the MS7100 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). To change the

tone, refer to the MetroSelect Programming Guide MLPN 2407.

One Beep

*

When the scanner first receives power, the red LED will turn

on, then the green LED will flash and the scanner will beep once.

(The green LED will remain on for the duration of the beep.) The

scanner performs this startup sequence, the scanner is ready to

scan.

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the green LED

will flash and the scanner beeps once (if programmed to do so).

If the scanner does not beep once and the green 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 10.

Three Beeps - during operation

***

During operation of the scanner, the green LED will flash

while the scanner simultaneously beeps three times (while going

into programming mode).

The green LED will continue to flash until the unit exits program

mode. Upon exiting program mode, the scanner will beep three

times and the green 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 then by a high tone and a low tone. This tells the user

that the single configuration bar code has successfully con-

figured the scanner.

Three Beeps - on power up

This is a failure indicator. Refer to failure modes page 10.

10

Failure Modes

Flashing Red 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 Green 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 razz-

berry 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 non-

volatile memory that holds the scanner configuration

has failed. Return the unit for repair at an authorized

service center.

11

Visual Indicators

There are a red LED and a green LED on the head of the Orbit MS7100.

When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs

indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner.

No Red or Green LED

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving

power from the host or transformer.

Steady Red

When the laser is active, the red LED is illuminated. The red

LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.

During the power save mode, the laser will turn on and turn off.

During this period, the red LED remains illuminated.

Steady Red and Single Green Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the green LED will

flash and the scanner will beep once. If the green LED does not flash

or the scanner does not beep once, then the bar code has not been

successfully read.

Steady Red and Steady Green

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 green LED will remain on until

the data can be transmitted.

Steady Red and Flashing Green

This indicates the scanner is in program mode. A razzberry tone

indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned in this mode.

Steady Green, Red off

This indicates the scanner may be waiting for communication from

the host.

12

Labels

Each scanner has labels on the bottom of the unit. One label contains

information such as the model number, date of manufacture, serial number and

notes that the device is a Class IIa laser product. The other label states the

device is an LASERKLASSE 1 product. The following are examples of these

labels:
