Audible Indicators
The MS7580 provides audible feedback during operation. The audible feedback indicates the status of the imager. 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
One Beep
When the imager successfully reads a bar code the imager will beep once and the white LED will flash once indicating data has been transmitted successfully. The blue LED will return to the low intensity state if no other objects are presented in the active scan area.
If the imager does not beep once and the white light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.
Short Razzberry Tone
This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 21).
Long Razzberry Tone
This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 21).
Three Beeps - At Power Up
When the MS7580 first receives power it will start an initialization sequence. The white and blue LEDs will alternately fade on and off for approximately
3 seconds. When the imager has finished initializing the white LED will flash three times while simultaneously beeping three times to indicate the imager is ready for use.
Three Beeps - Configuration Mode
When entering configuration mode, the white LED will flash while the imager simultaneously beeps three times. The white and blue LEDs will continue to flash while in this mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the imager will beep three times, and the LEDs will stop flashing.
When configured, 3 beeps can also indicate a communications timeout during normal scanning mode.
When using
a normal tone followed by a short pause, a high tone and then a low tone.
This indicates that the single configuration bar code has successfully configured the imager.
