Audible Indicators

When the MS7120 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 now 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 red light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

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 con- figured the scanner.

The MS7120 is equipped with a high-performance laser scan engine, ensuring that it can read both 1D and 2D barcodes with ease. This versatility is particularly valuable in environments where various types of barcodes are in use.

Another significant characteristic of the MS7120 is its compact and ergonomic design. Built to withstand the rigors of daily use in busy retail settings, the scanner features a rugged exterior that can endure drops and spills. Its lightweight design ensures that employees can use it comfortably over long periods, helping to reduce fatigue and improve productivity at checkout counters.

In addition to its hardware features, the MS7120 Series incorporates advanced decoding algorithms that enhance barcode reading performance. This technology allows it to correctly interpret damaged or poorly printed barcodes, mitigating the frustration often associated with challenging scans. Furthermore, the scanner is equipped with an extensive range of interface options, including USB, RS232, and keyboard wedge configurations, making it compatible with most point-of-sale systems.

The MS7120 Series also boasts programmable features, allowing users to customize the settings to fit specific operational needs. This includes the ability to adjust the scan speed, volume of the beep upon a successful scan, and even programming prefixes or suffixes that can be automatically added to scanned data.

With its combination of ruggedness, speed, and advanced scanning technologies, the Metrologic Instruments MS7120 Series is an outstanding choice for retailers seeking a reliable and efficient barcode scanning solution. Its ability to streamline operations and enhance customer service makes it a valuable asset in any retail environment.
