Speaker Blue and White LED Indicators Button Protective Boot and Stand Connection Never remove the protective boot from the MS3580. Removing the protective boot will expose electrical components of the scanner that are highly susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Pedestal Stand The type of stand provided is dependent on the specific MS3540 kit purchased.
Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning. Spray glass cleaner onto a lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. Gently wipe the scanner window. Figure 2. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the side of the QuantumT near the cable.

The MS3580-104 leaves the factory with the Laser Emulation enabled. If the Recall Defaults bar code is scanned while reconfiguring the scanner, laser emulation will no longer be enabled.
Turn on the host device. When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the scanner will simultaneously emit a beep and flash the white LED. Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not guarantee that scanned information will appear at the PC.
When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the scanner will simultaneously emit a beep and flash the white LED. Powering the MS3580 directly from the host device can sometimes cause interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer.

To scan and transmit the bar code, align the laser line over the bar code while continuing to hold down the button. The scanner will beep once to indicate the bar code has been scanned and transmitted.
PERATION Audible Indicators When the MS3580 is in operation, it provides audible feedback to indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). For instructions on how to change the tone of the beeper, refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (00-02407).
PERATION Visual Indicators The QuantumT is equipped with a blue and white LED that indicates the scanner’s state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation. Figure 13. Speaker Location and LED Location No LEDs The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.
Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair. Three Beeps - On Power Up If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up, then the nonvolatile memory that holds the scanner configuration has failed. Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair.

Any movement detected by the IR in the activation area will cause the scanner to exit power save mode. The laser will automatically turn back on preparing the scanner for bar code recognition, decoding and transmission.
Make sure the cable is plugged into the scanner. Some host systems cannot supply enough current to power the MS3580. Use the power supply included with the scanner. Adjust the same symbol timeout for a longer time increment.
