NTRODUCTION The PowerLink Cable Connecting Important: If the PowerLink cable is not fully ‘latched’ the unit can power intermittently. Figure 2. Figure 3. Disconnecting 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.
NTRODUCTION Labels Each scanner has a label located on the underside of the head. This label provides the unit’s model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. The following figure gives an example of the label and its location.
NSTALLING THE CANNER TO THE YSTEM RS232 MS1690-14 Turn off the host device. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS1690. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages. Connect the 9-pin D-type connector of the communication cable to the proper COM port of the host device.
NSTALLING THE CANNER TO THE YSTEM Keyboard Wedge MS1690-47 Turn off the host device. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 male end of the PowerLink cable into 10-pin socket on the MS1690. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages. Disconnect the keyboard from the host device.
NSTALLING THE CANNER TO THE YSTEM Stand Alone Keyboard MS1690-47 Turn off the host device. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS1690. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages.
NSTALLING THE CANNER TO THE YSTEM IBM MS1690-11 Turn off the host device. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the MVC cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS1690. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages Connect the other end of the MVC cable to the host device.
NSTALLING THE CANNER TO THE YSTEM Integrated USB: Full Speed MS1690-40 Low Speed MS1690-38 Turn off the host device. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the USB cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS1690. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages.
TAND Hard Mounting the Stand (Optional) Metrologic provides two #8 wood screws for securing the stand base to the counter top. The following figure provides the pilot hole dimensions for securing the stand base. Figure 12. Stand Base Hole Pattern (Not to Scale)
CANNER PERATION Two Default Modes of Operation* Multi-Trigger, Out of Stand The IR detects an object in the IR activation range and automatically turns on linear illumination. Aim the scanner’s line of light over the bar code. Pull the trigger to initiate scanning. The scanner’s light output will start to flash as it attempts to scan the bar code.
CANNER PERATION Audible Indicators When the MS1690 is in operation, the scanner 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 Single-Line Configuration Guide, 00-02544 or MLPN...
CANNER PERATION Visual Indicators The MS1690 has three LED indicators (yellow, white and blue) located on the top of the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. No LEDs are Illuminated The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.
CANNER PERATION Failure Modes Long Razzberry Tone – During Power Up Failed to initialize or configure the scanner. If the scanner does not respond after reprogramming, return the scanner for repair. Short Razzberry Tone – During Scanning An Invalid bar code has been scanned when in configuration mode.
