Orbit is small in size, but BIG in performance. Designed for applications where counter space is limited, Orbit is the ideal presentation scanner for retail, convenience, liquor and specialty stores. In addition, Orbit’s unique, contoured shape allows it to be picked-up and used as a hand-held scanner when scanning large or bulky items.
Scanner and Accessories following is a list of the parts included in the MS7100 kit. MS7100 Hand-Held Laser Scanner - Refer to page 26 for available communication protocols Power Transformer AC in 120V, 220V- 240V Continental European or 220V- 240V UK.

Quick Start 1.) Plug in the scanner. When the MS7100 is ready to scan, the red LED will turn on, then the green LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. (the green LED will remain on for the duration of the beep).
Operational Test Metrologic recommends using the external power supply provided with the scanner when operating the MS7100. When using power supplied by the host, the host system should supply a minimum of 250 mA of current @ 5VDC. Keyboard Wedge Scanners: Connect the 10-pin modular plug of the PowerLink cable into the scanner jack.
Then the scanner will beep once and the green LED will flash simultaneously. b. Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not guarantee that scanned information will appear at the PC. A software driver and correct configuration setting are also...
Scanner Installation: Powered by Host Device The MS7100 scanner interfaces terminate to a 10-pin modular jack. Connect the 10-pin modular plug of the PowerLink cable into the jack then connect the other end of the PowerLink cable to the host. Refer to Appendix C page 33 for pin assignments.
SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950. 1. The MS7100 Keyboard Wedge scanner interface terminates to a 10-pin modular jack. Connect the 10-pin modular plug of the PowerLink cable into the jack. The Power Link cable is terminated with a 5-pin DIN female connector on one end, and a 6-pin mini DIN male on the other.
Green and Red LEDs: When the red LED is on, this indicates that the laser is on. When the green LED flashes on, the scanner has read a bar code successfully. When the green light turns off, communication to the host is complete. The LEDs are also used as diagnostic indicators and mode indicators.
Audible Indicators When the MS7100 scanner 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.
Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. Three Beeps - on power up If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up then, the non- volatile memory that holds the scanner configuration has failed. Return the unit for repair at an authorized...
Visual Indicators There are a red LED and a green LED on the head of the Orbit MS7100. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner.
Labels Each scanner has labels on the bottom of the unit. One label contains information such as the model number, date of manufacture, serial number and notes that the device is a Class IIa laser product. The other label states the device is an LASERKLASSE 1 product.
Maintenance Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning. 1. Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. 2. Gently wipe the scanner window.

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 demon-strates that the hardware interface and scanner are working.
OCIA ready (OCIA) 7100 IBM 46XX/RS-232 ready (IBM) The MS7100 Hand-Held Laser Scanner with Built-in PC Keyboard Wedge Interface is designed to be used for keyboard emulation only. However, many RS-232 programmable functions that are available in other Metrologic scanners are also available as keyboard wedge functions.
