AUDIBLE INDICATORS

When the IS6520/MS6520 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.

One Beep

When the scanner first receives power, the green LED will turn on, then the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. (The red LED will remain on for the duration of the beep.) The scanner is ready to scan.

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner beeps once (if programmed to do so). If the scanner does not beep once and the green light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Razzberry Tone

This tone is a failure indicator. Refer to “Failure

Modes" page 10.

Three Beeps - During Operation

During operation of the scanner, the red LED will flash while the scanner simultaneously beeps three times (while going into programming mode).

The red LED will continue to flash until the unit exits program mode. Upon exiting program mode, the scanner will beep three times and the red LED will stop flashing. When configured, 3 beeps can also indicate a communications timeout during normal scanning mode.

When using one-code-programming, the scanner will beep three times (the current selected tone), followed by a short pause then by a high tone and a low tone. This tells the user that the single configuration bar code has successfully configured the scanner.

Three Beeps - On Power Up

This is a failure indicator. Refer to “Failure Modes” on page 10.
