When the MS5145 scanner is operational, the scanner provides audible
feedback to indicate the status of the scanner and the last scan. Eight settings
are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone).
for instructions on how to change the lone of the beeper, refer to the Single-Line
MetroSelect Configuration Guide.
One Beep – On Power Up
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 now ready to scan.
One Beep – During Operation
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and
the scanner will beep once (if programmed to do so). If the scanner does not
beep once and the red light does not flash, then the bar code has not been
successfully read.
Three Beeps – During Operation
When entering the configuration mode, the red LED will flash while the scanner
simultaneously beeps three times. The red LED will continue to flash until the
unit exits configuration mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner
will beep three times and the red LED will stop flashing.
When configured for communication timeout, 3 beeps during operation will
indicate that a communication timeout has occurred.
