SCANNER OPERATION
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).
One Beep
When the scanner first receives power; the white LED will flash, one blue LED
will turn on and the scanner will emit a beep (the white LED will remain on for the
duration of the beep). The scanner is now ready to scan.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and
the scanner will emit one beep (if configured to do so). If the scanner does not
emit one beep and the white light does not flash, then the bar code has not been
successfully read.
Razzberry Tone
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 17.
Three Beeps - during operation
When placing the scanner in configuration mode, the white and blue LEDs will
flash while the scanner emits three beeps. The white and blue LEDs will
continue to flash until the unit exits the configuration mode. Upon exiting the
configuration mode, the scanner will emit three beeps and the white 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 emit three beeps:
the current selected tone, followed by a short pause then a high tone and a low
tone. This tells the user that the single code configuration has successfully
configured the scanner.
Three Beeps - on power up
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 17.
