Audible Indicators When the Voyager 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. - Page 16 This is a failure indicator. Refer to “Failure Modes” on page 13.

Page 20: Programming Modes
Programming Modes The MS9500 Voyager has 3 modes of programming. Bar Codes: Voyager 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). - Page 21 8. 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.
- Page 22 Exit Program Mode The scanner will emit a long beep! This example illustrates two 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.
