  • Page 8: Standard Scanner Installation

    Manufacturer’s Note: Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee that the scanned information will be communicated properly to the host system. The scanner and/or the host system may need to be configured for communications to occur.
  • Page 9: Keyboard Wedge Installation

    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.
  • Page 10 MS6220 Keyboard Wedge will be necessary. Powering the MS6220 directly from the computer keyboard connector could interfere with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers supply the same current through the keyboard port, so a scanner may work on one computer and not another (see caution statement on page 5).
  • Page 11: Disconnecting The Powerlink Cable From The Scanner

    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.

    LED remains on during normal pulse operation and it blinks during power save mode. On a successful read of a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. The LEDs are also used as diagnostic indicators and mode indicators.
  • Page 13: Audible Indicators

    NDICATORS When the MS6220 scanner is operational, 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 Configuration Guide.
  • Page 14: Visual Indicators

    ISUAL NDICATORS There is a red LED and a green LED on the MS6220. When the scanner is on, the activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. Green and Red LEDs are off The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.
