EQUIREMENTS Before installing your StratosS scanner/Avery scale, please consider the following items. Vertical Clearance A minimum clearance height of 5.25" from the checkout counter surface is needed for the vertical 'hood' on all of the scanner models. Ventilation and Spacing All StratosS models have a die-cast housing to dissipate heat allowing the unit to operate without a ventilation fan.
In what direction are the packages flowing? Most checkout counters are designed for left-handed takeaway. If the operator is facing the vertical window of the scanner, packages flow from the operator's right to left. The packages are in queue on the conveyor to the right and the bagging is to the left.

OFF after a configured period of non-use then turns the motor OFF after thirty-minute intervals. Any movement detected by the IR in the activation area, shown below, will cause the scanner to exit the power save mode.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and the scanner beeps once (if configured to do so). If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.
Steady Blue and Single White Flash When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. If the white LED does not flash or the scanner does not beep once, then the bar code has not been successfully read.
Flashing Blue and One Razzberry Tone This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. The scanner will try up to 3 times to correct the failure condition. If the laser subsystem continues to fail, that subsystem (horizontal or vertical) will be shut down and an error indication will be shown on the Diagnostic Indicator Display.
The following is a list of possible error codes and their meanings. Some errors will require immediate scanner maintenance. RROR Reserved RAM ERROR – The scanner’s Random Access Memory (RAM) is tested as faulty. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. PROGRAM ERROR – The scanner’s software program is failing. Return the unit for repair.

“break” signal constantly and continuous attempts are made to enter MetroSet configuration mode. A short on the RX Data line can cause this condition. It can also be the result of a laptop in power save mode. The scanner will abort attempts to enter configuration mode after a short timeout.
Page 43
MOTOR #2 (HORIZONTAL) ERROR – The motor in the horizontal scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner will try three times to correct the motor operation. If the motor error persists, the horizontal scanning subsystem will be shut down and this error code will remain on the Diagnostic Indicators.
Turns the laser OFF after a configured period of non-use. The motor continues to spin allowing for a faster “wake” up time. Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the Laser Off power save mode (see Figure 28 on page 31).
This feature is configuration dependant. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x) under Scanner Operation: Power Save Modes to enable this feature. Waking the Unit from All Power Save Modes The next button depression will awaken the scanner for normal operation.
TARTUP When the scanner first receives power the white LED will flash, the blue LED will turn on and the scanner will beep once (the white LED will remain on for the duration of the beep). The scanner is now ready to scan.
After the unit has been officially calibrated (see page 42) the scale can be re-zeroed by pressing the scale zeroing button on either the unit or on the remote display stand. When the scale is at zero the amber LED will be illuminated. Figure 35. The scale zero button on scanner/scale. Figure 36. The scale zero button on the remote display.
The certification of the weighing mechanism of the scale version of this scanner is subject to federal, state and local Weights and Measures statutes and regulations and can only be performed by authorized government agencies and/or their duly registered agents.
Priming the Scale for Calibration (lbs. or kg) Prime the scale before starting either method of calibration. Calibrate the scanner/scale after the unit is installed in the checkout countertop. It is important to use the correct certified (lb. or kg.) field weight set when calibrating the scale.
If this is a currently installed scanner/scale in need of calibration, cut and remove the calibration switch cover seal. If this is a new installation, cut and remove the factory-applied adhesive seal.

Reinstall the platter and power up the unit. Enter bar code calibration mode. Use the vertical window to scan the following bar code. The scanner will beep once as it enters the bar code calibration mode and the calibration utility will start.
Page 56
CALE PERATION ALIBRATION Bar Code Calibration Procedure without Remote Display Make sure there is no load on the scale platter. The white LEDs will be used to indicate the current step in the calibration process. Calibrate a zero load. The white LEDs will blink once periodically. Wait 8 to 10 seconds for scale stability then press the beeper volume switch one time.
Page 57
13. Calibration is now complete. The scanner will automatically restart, and beep one time, in 5 seconds. 14. In order to use the scale in the normal operating mode, the unit must be powered down and the scale program switch returned to the run position.

ECURITY NSTALLATION The certification of the weighing mechanism of the scale version of this scanner is subject to federal, state and local Weights and Measures statutes and regulations and can only be performed by authorized government agencies and/or their duly registered agents. Each time the scale or weighing mechanism is calibrated, it should be properly sealed with a paper seal or a wire seal prior to being placed into service in commerce.
CALE PERATION ECURITY NSTALLATION Wire Security Seal (Seal Conversion Kit 46-00239) Temporarily remove the platter and place it in a safe location. Install the calibration switch/button cover. Secure the cover in place with the flat head Phillips screw provided. Thread the wire through the hole in the tab that protrudes through the calibration switch/button cover Continue to thread the wire through the wire lock at the other end forming a loop (see Figure 66).
For the glass window: Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. Gently wipe the scanner window. For the inner plastic window: Use mild soap and water with lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. Gently wipe the scanner window.
Check the transformer, outlet and the power strip. Make sure the power cable is plugged into the scanner. The host system cannot supply enough current to power the MS2220 series scanner. Use the power supply included with the scanner. Contact a Metrologic service representative, if the unit will not hold the configuration.
Page 65
XON/XOFF or D/E, verify that the host cable and host are supporting the handshaking properly. Verify that the scanner’s data format matches that required by the host. Make sure that the scanner is connected to the proper host port. The type of printer and/or the printer settings could be the problem.
Page 66
Check to make sure that the baud rate and parity of the scanner and the communication port match and the program is looking for RS232 data. Check that the scanner and the host are configured for the same interface. Add some intercharacter delay to the transmitted output by using the MetroSelect Configuration Guide ( 02407x).
This program is for demonstration purposes only. It is only intended to prove that cabling is correct, the com port is working, and the scanner is working. If the bar code data displays on the screen while using this program, it only demonstrates that the hardware interface and scanner are working.
Many functions of the scanner can be "configured" - that is, enabled or disabled. The scanner is shipped from the factory pre- configured to a set of default conditions. The default parameter of the scanner has an asterisk ( * ) in the charts on the following pages.
