Introduction Maintenance 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. Cable Removal Disconnect the power supply from the PowerLink cable and turn off power to the host system before removing the cable from the scanner.
NSTALLATION RS232 or Light Pen Turn off the host device. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS3780. Connect the 9-pin female end of the PowerLink cable to the appropriate communication port on the host device. Plug the external power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable.
NSTALLATION IBM 46xx or OCIA Turn off the host device. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the MVC cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS3780. For IBM: Connect the other end of the MVC cable to Port 9 of the host device.
Not all computers supply the same current through the keyboard port. For this reason, Metrologic recommends using an external power supply. For additional information contact a Metrologic customer service representative.

NSTALLATION Full Speed or Low Speed USB (Integrated) Turn off the host device. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the USB PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS3780. Plug the other end of the USB interface cable into the host device’s USB port.
NSTALLATION EAS Deactivation EAS D EACTIVATION SW1 and SW2 are the switch banks inside the CheckPoint Device that set the deactivation range. The following is a list of CheckPoint recommended switch bank settings. CheckPoint Recommended Switch Bank Settings SW1 & SW2 switches 1 and 6 set to ON All Fusion models equipped with EAS capabilities have an EAS designation in their model numbers.
CANNER PERATION The Scan Pattern Mode Select Button There are two configurable scan pattern modes available with the MS3780. • The primary scan pattern mode is the default scan pattern active when the scanner starts. By default, the primary scan pattern is set to all-scan-lines for omnidirectional reading.
CANNER PERATION How to Use CodeGate and the Manual Activation Mode For illustration purposes the unit’s scan pattern has been set to single-line (menu reading) mode. ANUAL CTIVATION This feature is not a default setting. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for instructions on enabling the Manual Activation Mode.
CANNER PERATION Audible Indicators When the MS3780 is in operation, it can provide 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). For instruction on how to change the tone of the beeper, refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (00-02407).
CANNER PERATION Visual Indicators There are four LEDs located on the top of the MS3780. When the scanner is on, the flashing or constant illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. Figure 18. LED Indicators No LEDs The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.
Return the unit to a Metrologic authorized service center for repair. Three Beeps - On Power Up This indicates that the nonvolatile memory that holds the scanner configuration has failed. Return the unit to a Metrologic authorized service center for repair.
