Connect the other end of the PowerLink cable to the keyboard port on the host device. 4. Plug the external power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet. The outlet must be located near the equipment and be easily accessible. 5.
INSTALLATION Full Speed or Low Speed USB 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the USB cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS7120. 3. Plug the other end of the USB interface cable into the host device’s USB port. 4. Turn on the host device. When the scanner first receives power, the blue and white LED will toggle on and off then the scanner will beep once. Figure 13. As a default, the MS7120-38 leaves the factory with USB Keyboard Emulation Mode enabled.
SCANNER OPERATION Audible Indicators When the MS7120 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, six 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.
SCANNER OPERATION Visual Indicators The MS7120 is equipped with a blue and a white LED that indicates the scanner’s state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation. Figure 14. LED Location No LEDs The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Steady Blue When the laser is active, the blue LED is illuminated. The blue LED will remain on until the laser is deactivated. During the power save mode, the laser will turn on and off.
SCANNER OPERATION Failure Mode Indicators Flashing Blue with One Razzberry Tone This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair. Synchronized Flashing of Blue and White with Two Razzberry Tones This indicates that the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a Metrologic representative at 1-800-ID-METRO or 1-800-436-3876 to preserve the limited warranty terms on page 38. Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces During power up the unit beeps three times. There is a non-volatile RAM failure. Contact a Metrologic service representative. During power up the unit razzes once and the blue LED flashes. There is a VLD failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces The unit is trying to scan a particular symbology that is not enabled. The unit powers up but does not scan and/or beep. The scanner has been configured for a character length lock, or a minimum length and bar code being scanned does not satisfy the configured criteria. UPC/EAN, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128 and Codabar are enabled by default.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces Scanner beeps at some bar codes and NOT for others of the same bar code symbology. The bar code may have been printed incorrectly. Check if it is a check digit, character or border problem. The scanner is not configured correctly for the type of bar code. Check if check digits are set properly. The minimum symbol length setting does not work with the bar code. Check if the correct minimum symbol length is set.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution RS232 Only The host is The scanner and host receiving data may not be configured but the data does for the same interface. not look correct. Characters are being dropped. The inter character delay needs to be added to the transmitted output. Check that the scanner and the host are configured for the same interface. Add some inter-character delay to the transmitted output by using the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407).

SCANNER CONFIGURATION CONFIGURATION MODES The MS7120* Series scanner has three modes of configuration. • Bar Codes The MS7120 can be configured by scanning the bar codes included in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407). These manuals can be downloaded FREE of charge from Metrologic’s website (www.metrologic.com). • MetroSet2 This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows the enduser to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options.
UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE The MS7120 is part of Metrologic's line of scanners with flash upgradeable firmware. The upgrade process requires, a new firmware file supplied to the customer by a customer service representative and Metrologic's MetroSet2 software. A personal computer running Windows 95 or greater with an available RS232 serial or USB port is required to complete the upgrade. PowerLink Cable #54-54014 is required when using RS232 for the upgrade process.
SCANNER AND CABLE TERMINATIONS Scanner Pinout Connections The MS7120 scanner interfaces terminate to a 10-pin modular socket. The serial number label indicates the interface enabled when the scanner is shipped from the factory. Figure 19.
