Connect AC power to the transformer. Turn on the host device. Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee that scanned information will be communicated properly to the host system. The scanner is shipped from the factory configured to a set of default parameters.
Caution: 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. To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 950/UL 1950 and norm EN 60950, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

ISCONNECTING THE Before removing the cable from the scanner, Metrologic recommends that the power on the host system is off and the power supply has been disconnected from the PowerLink cable. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the back of the scanner.
The LEDs are also used as diagnostic indicators and mode indicators. Output Window Laser light emits form this aperture. PowerLink Cable The IS6520/MS6520 scanner has a 10-pin modular jack. The 10-pin modular plug on the PowerLink cable connects into the IS6520/MS6520. Each IS6520/MS6520 Cubit...

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...
ISUAL NDICATORS There is a red LED and a green LED on IS6520/MS6520. 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.
String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h (All values are hexadecimal). If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an [ack]. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with a [nak].

This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits settings that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively. If a command is sent to the scanner to change any of these settings, the change will NOT take effect until after serial program mode is exited.

The scanner will emit a long beep! This example illustrates 2 important points. First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with a [nak] and the end-user must start over from the beginning. Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate does not take effect until after the end-user exits program mode.
ABELS Each scanner has a label on the back of the unit that lists the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. The following is an example of the label: AINTENANCE Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code.
