SCANNER LABELS Each scanner has a label on the bottom of the unit. The label contains information such as the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, and caution information. An additional caution label is located under the top plate. The following are examples of these labels.
AUDIBLE INDICATORS When the MS7600 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) plus three volume settings. To change the tone or volume, refer to the Changing the Beeper Tone & Volume section of this manual. One Beep When the scanner first receives power, the amber LED will turn on, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once.
VISUAL INDICATORS There is a red LED and amber LED on the front of the MS7600. When the scanner is on, the flashing or constant illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. Figure 24: LEDs No Red or Amber LED The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Steady Amber When the laser is active, the amber LED is illuminated. The amber LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.
FAILURE MODES Figure 25: LEDs Flashing Amber and One Razzberry Tone This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. Flashing Red and Amber and Two Razzberry Tones This indicates the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center.
CHANGING THE BEEPER TONE & VOLUME Changing the Beeper Tone Beeper tones may be programmed directly or incrementally using the following bar code. The new tone will be heard followed by a short pause. Two more new tones will be heard signifying the new setting has been stored in memory. The silent (no beep) tone is also selectable. Next Beep Tone ³ 9 9 9 9 7 5 Changing the Beeper Volume Volume levels may be programmed directly or incrementally using the following bar code.
POWER SAVE MODES AND IR DETECTION The MS7600 has five programmable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Programming Guide for additional information on Power Save Modes. 1. Blink Power Save Mode: Blinks the laser OFF & ON after a programmed period of non-use. When the scanner recognizes a bar code it will exit the Blink mode. 2. Laser Off Power Save Mode: Turns the laser OFF after a programmed period of non-use. The motor continues to spin allowing for a faster “wake” up time.

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. MS7600 SERIES TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOMS POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION All Interfaces No LEDs, beep or motor spin. No power is being supplied to the scanner. Check transformer, outlet and power strip. Make sure the cable is plugged into the scanner. No LEDs, beep. No power is being supplied to the scanner from host.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (CONTINUED) SYMPTOMS POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION Scanning a particular symbology that is not enabled. UPC/EAN, Code 39, interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128 and Codabar are enabled by default. Verify that the type of bar code being read has been selected. The scanner has been programmed for a character length lock, or a minimum length and bar code being scanned does not satisfy the programmed criteria. Verify that the bar code that is being scanned falls into the criteria.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (CONTINUED) SYMPTOMS POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION 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 this 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. Scanner beeps at some bar codes and NOT for others of the same bar code symbology.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (CONTINUED) SYMPTOMS POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION Everything works except for a couple of characters. These characters may not be supported by that country’s key look up table. Try operating the scanner in Alt mode. The unit is transmitting each character. Configuration is not correct. Increase the interscan code delay setting. Adjust whether the F0 break is transmitted. It may be necessary to try this in both settings. Alpha characters show as lower case.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (CONTINUED) SYMPTOMS POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) Characters are being dropped. Intercharacter delay needs to be added to the transmitted output. SOLUTION Add some intercharacter delay to the transmitted output by using the MetroSelect® Programming Guide (MLPN 00-02407A-1 & -2). Aux port operation with any interface Trouble with the Secondary Scanner. Refer to the user guide provided with the secondary scanner. Cable [MLPN 54-54667] may not be connected to the proper port.
