30 feet from the receiver. When not in use, the scanner rests in a universal-charging stand. The scanner will be fully charged in 2 hours when not scanning in the stand. A fully charged MS6130 can provide up to 8 hours of wireless, hand-held scanning. After dormant periods, the scanner is programmed to enter a timeout mode that will extend the battery life.
Metrologic’s MX003 Series Scanner Interfaces provide a short range, one- way wireless data communication link between a remote portable scanner and an RS-232 or light pen host device. Specifically, Metrologic’s MS6130 Hand-Held Laser Scanners include a Liberty Metrologic’s MS700i/MS720i series scanners, TECH series scanners may be connected to a MX Series scanner interface.
NPACKING Your shipment will contain a set of items from the two groups listed below: Transmitter Group: MS6130 Hand-Held Scanner Stand #45880 (optional) Stand #45558, 45559 and 45560 (optional) MS4120 Programming Guide Receiver Group: “MX” Scanner Interface MCA951 adapter or adapter cable (if required)

“MX” I NTERFACE TO THE Version 17 only MX003 Scanner Interfaces with a suffix of “17" are Keyboard Wedge versions used to interface with a PC and keyboard. Turn off the PC. Plug the “MX” receiver adapter cable to the PC keyboard port.
ONNECTIONS OF THE “MX” WITH TO THE To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host. Turn off the host system. Connect the 25-pin D-type connector on the MS700i/MS720i scanner’s head cable to the communication cable.
Once the transmitter is assigned an ID number, configure the S700i/MS720i to accept RF communication. Although the changes made in this section effect the receiver, the MS6130 performs all scanning. Scan the following bar code to enter the receiver’s program mode.
Note: When the Load Defaults bar code in the ScanSelect Scanner Programming Guide is chosen, it will automatically disable the RF low speed option. For the MS6130 to communicate to the MS700i/MS720i scanner, re-enable the RF Low Speed Option (refer to the procedure above).
The RS-232 parameters marked with an asterisk ( * ) in the charts are the default settings of the “MX”. The charts are in the Default Settings of the MS6130 and “MX” Receiver section of this guide. To communicate with each other properly, the “MX” and ScanPal must have matching RS-232 parameters.
Mode bar code in the MS4120 Programming Guide will not cause your “MX” to enter or exit program mode. Scan the Enter/Exit Program Mode for the Receiver bar code in the following procedure. Once the MS6130 is assigned an ID number, configure the “MX” to the correct communication protocol.
EYBOARD EDGE Scan the ENABLE KB WEDGE INTERFACE bar code if your communication requirement is keyboard emulation. The scanner will provide keyboard emulation by converting the scanned bar code data to the PC keyboard scan code equivalent. Enable Keyboard Wedge Interface KB Parameter - Keyboard Type The following bar codes are used to define the type of keyboard in use.

Before beginning this procedure, perform all steps in the sections, Matching the Transmitter to the Receiver and Configuration of the MS700i/MS720i with “MX”. Use the MS700i/MS720i scanner to scan the following bar codes. Temporarily cover the bar code below Step 3. Scan the following bar code to enter program mode.
HANGING THE In order for the MS6130 to send data to the correct receiver, they must have a matching ID number. The ID number is the serial number of the receiver. When the matching procedure is completed, the receiver will accept data only from a MS6130 that has the matching ID number.
ATCHING ROCEDURE With the MS6130, scan the following bar codes starting from the top down: Transmitter Enter/Exit Program Mode Transmitter Enter/Exit Program Mode Locate the model label on the case of the receiver. Scan the serial number bar code. The receiver and MS6130 are now matched.

Stand LED Indicators (with the scanner in the stand) No LED indicates trickle charge and the green LED indicates fast charge. To change from trickle charge to fast charge, simply lift the scanner from the stand and replace. Note: When both scanner LEDs blink, it is an indication of a low battery.

Use the rotating base as a drill template. Use the (4) four wood screws provided to mount the base to the counter top securely.
Low battery indicators: Both LED’s on the scanner blink The scanner quietly beeps twice while scanning Recondition once a week if: The batteries do not get discharged for more than 20% (approximately ½ hour) of their capacity before recharging.
If the unit has been dormant for longer than 10 minutes, reactivating the unit by pressing the button on the side of the MS6130 will be necessary. When the scanner first receives power, the steady red LED will flash, followed by the green LED.
If the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the green light will flash. If the “MX” receiver successfully receives the data from the MS6130, the “MX” will beep once. Razzberry Tone If, upon power up, the scanner emits a razzberry tone, then the scanner has failed diagnostics.
Page 32
UDIBLE NDICATORS The “MX” receiver can be programmed to emit three beeps when the timeout occurs during communication between the host and receiver. Refer to the MS4120 Programming Guide section, Audible Indicators for Communication Timeouts to program this feature. There are four settings available for the tone of the beep for the receiver. Refer to the MS4120 Programming Guide section, Beeper Tones to program the feature to change the tone or turn the beeper off.
ABELS The MS6130 scanner is either a CDRH Class II laser system or an IEC Class 1 Laser System. Your unit will have a CDRH Class II caution label or LASERKLASSE 1 label affixed below the model number label. The model number/avoid exposure label is located on the bottom of the scanner’s head.
ROUBLESHOOTING The receiver can receive data from a MS6130 with its own ID or 10 zeroes. It’s own ID can be received all the time. When using 10 zeroes, the first scan the receiver gets must have 10 zeroes as its ID and from that point on the receiver will accept both ID’s.
