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.
OUNTING OLES Each IS6520/MS6520 Cubit™ is equipped with three threaded mounting holes located on the back of the scanner. The following diagram shows the exact location of each mounting hole. The mounting holes are 6 millimeters deep and are threaded for use with 3 millimeter screws.

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.
ROGRAMMING ODES The IS6520/MS6520 Cubit™ has 3 modes of programming. Bar Codes: Cubit™ can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in ® the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 2407). Please refer to this guide for instructions. This manual can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s website (www.metrologic.com).

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. This label has the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. The following is an example of this label: AINTENANCE Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code.
