SCANNER OPERATION
Audible Indicators
When the MS7180 is in operation, it provides audible feedback to indicate the
status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep
(normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). For instructions 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 blue and white LED will toggle on
and off. The scanner will beep once, then the LEDs will stop toggling and the
blue LED will remain on to indicate the scanner is ready to scan.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and
the scanner will emit a beep*. If the scanner does not beep once 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 19.
When in configuration mode, a razzberry tone indicates that an invalid bar code
has been scanned.
Three Beeps - During Operation
When entering configuration mode† the scanner will beep three times and the
white and blue LED will start to toggle on and off. The blue LED and the white
LED will toggle on and off until the scanner exits the configuration mode.
Upon exiting configuration mode†, the white LED will flash three times and the
scanner will beep three times. The blue LED will then stay on indicating the
scanner is ready to scan.
When using one-code-configuring, the scanner will emit a unique beep three
times after scanning. This indicates that the single configuration bar code has
successfully configured the scanner.
Three beeps* can also indicate a communications timeout during normal
scanning mode.
Three Beeps - On Power Up
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 19.
