    NTRODUCTION The MS6220 Pulsar™ is an entry-level hand held contact laser bar code scanner that combines the high-speed and accuracy of a laser scanner with the working range and price of a typical CCD. Pulsar has a controlled 7.6 cm (3”) depth of field on 100% UPC bar codes, which makes it perfect for large retail applications where UPC/EAN bar codes are frequently scanned at less demanding, low-volume check-out areas or satellite cash registers.

    EYBOARD EDGE NSTALLATION CONTINUED Manufacturer’s Recommendation If the keyboard port of the host system cannot supply enough current, the use of an external power supply with the 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.
  • Page 11: Disconnecting The Powerlink Cable From The Scanner

    ISCONNECTING THE OWER ABLE FROM THE CANNER 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. • Ž & •...

    CANNER ARTS Green & Red LEDs The MS6220 laser pulses on and off during normal operation. When the laser is on, the green LED will be on. When the laser is off, the green LED will be off. On a successful read of a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once.
  • Page 13: Audible Indicators

    UDIBLE 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.
